How to Convert a WordPress Photo Blog to a Flickr Photostream
WordPress is a versatile blogging platform designed for a variety of templates, styles and topics. With an appropriate template, the platform can be especially well-suited for photo blogs, thanks to the platform's capability for directly uploading high-resolution images. If your WordPress site is primarily a photo blog, you can switch your photos to a Flickr photostream that you can embed on the page.

Log in to your Flickr account. Upload all of your WordPress blog photos to your Flickr account in the same album.
