  I am having trouble getting images from my flicr acct to appear in a post. I copy the url and paste it in the ‘image url’ box on the ‘image/edit image’ box. All I get is an empty image box and no picture. I can go from flick and choose ‘blog this’ and it works just fine. It’s just frustrating not to be able to put more than one photo in a post. I would appreciate any help with this.

  Maybe you’ve got the wrong link? I know that sometimes when copying a flickr url it ends in .jpg?v=0. Just take the last bit off to have it ending in .jpg and it *should* work.

  I figured out what I was doing wrong. Your advice about the url ending was helpful. Thanks!

  Just remember the flickr TOS state that when you use a flickr image outside of flickr, you have to use the full link and not just the image link.

  Click on the “All Sizes” button on flickr and select the size you want to use and then copy the full link from flickr and paste it into the Code Editor. I have done lots of little 75x75pixel image links on my blog this way.
