  Hi. I’m new to WordPress and to blogging in general. I’m trying to create a gallery at the bottom of my posts, but instead of having the images here on WordPress, I’d like to link to images which I have saved on Flickr. Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  yes, from “My Dashboard” look at the options on the left side of the page and select ” Appearances” then in then under that select “Widgets” you will see the FLICKR widget and just drag it over to the right and set it up.

  Thanks Danny for the answer :)

  But, I think vishalicious asked on how to put ‘gallery from flickr into a posting’ not ‘flickr widget’.

  I managed to put the flickr widget into my wordpress blog, put I don’t know how to put ‘gallery from flickr into my posting’?

  Can somebody please help…

  Thanks :)

  You can’t. The code contains javascript, which is stripped out. You can put Flickr pictures in as thumbnails and make them clickable to the full size, but that’s it.

  …or using tables, you can put any number & size pictures in your post. There are multiple examples in my blog [link in my Gravitar]. –jim

  Or use Vodpod to embed a flickr slideshow in your post.

  But for Gallery, the photos need to be hosted on WP.com. http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/05/creating-an-image-gallery/

  Pictures inserted in tables [and number, any size] do not have to be hosted om WP.com.
