Tips & Warnings
Choosing an HTML-format Flickr badge gives you the freedom to customize your Flickr badge settings and coordinate the badge with your blog's design.
If you don't wish to display certain photos, you can edit a photo's settings in your Flickr account to make the photo completely private or visible to friends and family contacts only.
