  There’s several ways to post photos to your WordPress.COM blog.

  Do you want the photo album to appear as a separate Page on your blog? Do you want to link to it from your sidebar on flickr, picassa, etc.? Can you be a little more specific?

  Flickr is best service, and yes better than Picassa.
  Try it.

  I noticed on another blog there was an automatically generated link to a post in my blog. I appreciate the visits this link provided. I am interested in how and why this is done.

  The link was artpredator.wordpress.com I had a post called “Semi-scary Halloween Poem” and I think one of her Halloween poem posts generated a link to my post. Again, I was happy to get the visits.

  But what does this have to do with the original poster’s question about adding a photo album?

  If you have a new question that hasn’t been covered in a previous forum post, then please open a separate thread for it. This just hijacks someone else’s topic. Just sayin’….

  Sorry, Jennifer. I’m new at this and don’t know the rules.

  Back to photo album…

  I think photobucket looks great. You can see an example here.

  @lovefrom1stbite: Sorry, I occasionally have to do things like work, sleep… just sayin’… :)

  Yella gave you a good suggestion about using picasawebalbums, but I don’t know if the width can be configured for a narrow sidebar. http://picasaweb.google.com/

  flickr: If you have a flickr account, you can use the WordPress.com flickr widget to point to your photostream. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/using-the-flickr-widget/ The flickr badge generated on flickr will not work on WordPress.com

  or use a thumbnail as a static image in a text widget and link it to your flickr photostream/slideshow.

  or create a badge using flickriver http://www.flickriver.com/ and put the resulting code in a text widget.

  That should be enough for starters.

  Thanks a million Jennifer. I already have an account with

  Flicker so I’m gonna try that & hopefully it will work!

  Have a good day.
