  When I try to load an image from my Flickr I grab the URL from the photo but when I paste it into the widget on my blog it doesn’t show the photo. I get a frame, the hover description but only a X for the photo. If I click on the frame it takes me to Flickr as I wanted, but the won’t show the picture – why?

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

  Hi. I don’t see that when I view the blog linked to your username.

  If you removed the widget in question, please put it back. We need to see the widget in question to be able to tell you what’s wrong.

  In the “Image URL” field, you need to insert the actual image’s URL (the one that ends in JPG). From the Flickr image link itself, I go to Actions > View all sizes, then select the size, and then click (or right click) on the Download link right above.

  The Flickr URL that ends with a series of numbers should only go in the “Link URL” field.
