  Could you be more specific about what you’ve tried? After all, there are no instructions for embedding a Flickr slideshow. There are instructions for embedding a Flickr video, however.

  These are the slideshows that are directly supported here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/ .

  This forum thread I got by searching the forum for “flickr slideshow” brought this with a post by a vodpod person explaining how to use vodpod to post a flickr slideshow here.

  //nod to tsp-using Vodpod is the only way to embed a flickr slideshow in WordPress.com blogs.

  Although far less technical than the explanations on that page, I simply use the “VodPod to WP” bookmarklet (available at http://vodpod.com/wordpress/) when on the slideshow’s Share this Slideshow/Customize this HTML page. After clicking on the bookmarklet, a separate pop-up window opens from VodPod which allows you to post your slidewhow to your WordPress blog (including COM). You can also save it as a draft or even go directly to your blog’s Editor to finesse the post.

  The downside is that you do have to enter your WordPress.com username and password in that VodPod pop-up window, which others have pointed out can be a security risk.
