  I don’t host my WordPress on my website. I just use the plain ‘ole WordPress.com site, or the iPhone application. While designing my WordPress, I noticed I could only use one Flickr widget and, let’s face it – it’s ugly. I’ve found so many nice ones online, but you need PHP5 and blah blah blah. I don’t have any of that. Is there any way I can just get HTML for this widget: Guahan Flickr Widget by Guahanweb. It doesn’t even have to be that one specifically…that is just the exact design I want.

  Please, please let me know if you can help. Thank you so much!

  That widget would be written in PHP script, and we cannot use script here at wordpress.com for security reasons.

  If you had the Custom Design upgrade and some CSS experience, you could probably do a little bit of restyling of the existing flickr widget.

  If you use the Small size, rather than the Thumbnail size, it looks better.

  Yeah, I know that….but I don’t.

  I tried using the small size and there wasn’t a huge difference :p just made the photos smaller.

  I’m looking for something just like what I posted, that’s in HTML so I dont have to buy “custom CSS” that a website like Tumblr or Blogger has for free.

  You cannot do a flickr type widget with HTML. The code has to be dynamic and HTML is not dynamic.

  If you want to style it all yourself, then put the images into a text widget and use inline CSS to style it. It will not be dynamic, but you can link the images back to flickr if you wish.
