Things You'll Need:
- Flickr photo page
- Wordpress blog
- Wordpress blog sidebar enabled
- Wordpress theme with widgets enabled
-
Step 1
Foot menu on your Flickr pageGo to your Flickr photo page and scroll all the way down to the bottom. At the foot menu, you'll find options under Activity, You, Explore and Help. On the later, click on Tools, where you will access different options to work with your photos.
-
Step 2
The link to Flickr badges on the Tools PageOne of them is creating a Flickr photo badge. You will find it on the right side of the page, under "Display Flickr photos or video on your website." The link "build a badge" will guide you through the process. Click on it.
-
Step 3
Your two Flickr badge optionsOn the badge page, you will see that you can choose between two options. You can either create an HTML badge that will show a "list" of photos and is very simple or a flash badge, more elaborate and with the photos changing randomly. This badge is more attractive but flash widgets can give you some trouble in Wordpress. We'll follow with the HTML badge. Click on "choose content" and select the settings for your badge. Follow the instructions until you have the HTML code for your Flickr photo badge
-
Step 4
Now we'll move to your Wordpress blog dashboard. Once you have logged in and see it, go to your design menu. There you will find the Widgets section. (Make sure your blog theme has both the sidebar and widgets enabled).
Under the list of widgets available for your blog theme, you will find a text option. Click to add it: you'll see it on the right side of the page now. -
Step 5
Now enter a title for your Flickr photo badge and the code you grabbed earlier on the field below.
Make sure you click on both "change" and "save" so Wordpress saves all your changes -
Step 6
Go visit your own site and enjoy the Flickr photo badge on your site!
