  Has anyone tried the Flickr feature where they give you an email address to send photos from your cell phone directly to your blog? I have tried it a couple of times, but I end up with strange code above my picture. See here. http://12voltman.wordpress.com/2007/08/13/multimedia-message/

  Any thoughts?

  That’s because it’s trying to add in extra class definitions in a STYLE element, as well as applying those classes to other elements. WordPress.com doesn’t allow styles to be added (other than through CSS Upgrade), and WP will strip custom classes and most inline style information from elements.

  Basically: It won’t work correctly here on WP.com

  I found the trick on the Flickr forums. You can customize the layout that is sent to your blog from Flickr.
  “You can go into your blog settings on Flickr and click Layout.

  From there you may have to choose a layout, if one is already choosen then click on customize.

  You can then remove the everything from the section.

  This will prevent it from being displayed on your blog. “

  Just go in and delete those first few lines of code on the Flickr side. Then save it.
