    My flickr URL will not work when I configure it in my flickr widgit. It will use my RSS Feed however when you look at my blog the pictures don’t show up, just the name that I gave the pictures. You need to double click “More Photos” to go to my flick site. Any Ideas?

    Can you post the RSS address you’re using here between backticks (the key above the tab and next to the 1 on a standard keyboard) so we can have a look at it? Sometimes it’s not clear which address you need to use, or the address can be scrambled; if we can see it we might be able to work out what’s going wrong.

    As it is I think this is the address you need to you use. Try replacing it in the Flickr widget and see if it works then; I’ve tried it on my testblog and it’s working fine, I can see your pictures. http://cjtestblog.wordpress.com/

    This is my flickr URL that I should be using: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laz56/

    it does not work.

    This is the RSS that I am using on my blog http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=22764508@N04&lang=en-us&format=atom

    So what did you use on your test blog?

    cjwriter I want to kiss you! Where did you get rss_200 in: http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=22764508@N04&lang=en-us&format=rss_200

    The rss_200 is not in my feed.

    Thanks SO MUCH!

    Try this code. This is the one I’m using on the test blog; it doesn’t have =atom at the end of it, which is causing the problem. Atom’s a different format to standard RSS; looks like the Flickr widget doesn’t support it.

    Ah, sorry… simultaneous typing! I got the feed by going to your Flickr page and clicking on the little yellow feed icon at the bottom of the page; that’s the address you needed.

    Glad to see it’s working now. You’re very welcome and happy blogging. :)
