  Hi there,

  I see that you’ve added the Flickr Widget to your sidebar, and in the Flickr RSS URL box you entered this URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewanglee/

  That URL is actually your photostream page, rather than the RSS URL for your photostream. To find your RSS URL, follow these steps:

  • Go to your Flickr Photostream and click the Edit tab.
  • Then, scroll to the bottom of the screen until you see the small orange RSS icon below your photos.
  • Right-click on the RSS icon and copy the link address.

  This link is what you’ll use as your RSS URL in the widget. It will look something like this:
  http: //api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=xxxxxxxxx&lang=en-us&format=rss_200

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
