  Hi,
  i was reading about powerful shortcodes to embed contents from many sites. I’m wondering that it seems there is no shortcode to embed flickr images.
  Can anyone help me?

  There is no shortcode for embedding from Flickr. Just go to the Upload Media button and go as if you were going to upload from your computer. Then when you get the pop-up, click “from URL” and paste the URL of the Flickr image in there. It’s dead easy.

  That’s exactly what I did on this post:

  Thanks a lot raincoaster, i’ve already used your solution as a workaround.

  Ok, i will use direct link to the image, btw i think that shortcodes are better. :-)
