  Hello, thank you so much for your quick reply! The first picture here displays the error: https://espanjaan.wordpress.com/ (Gambas al Ajillo photo). The photo can be found in Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/129288027@N03/16473756645/

  What I do is I add the photo from URL: http://screencast.com/t/f6caCVCR
  I just don´t understand how to add them as medium size photos, not thumbnails. I have tried to look for an answer for hours… Getting desperate.

  Don’t use that URL. Click to see ALL SIZES and then use the exact URL for whatever size you want, eg say you want the one 640px wide, you click to that page, get the exact image URL https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8591/16473756645_c5da0871bd_z.jpg and put taht in.

  Put your cursor right on the image and right click. Then Copy Image Link should do it.

  As RC said, the URL is:
  https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8591/16473756645_c5da0871bd_b.jpg

  You’re welcome!/De nada! :)

  You’re welcome! Flickr probably only gives you the URL for the thumbnail so they save on bandwidth. But this workaround works.
