How to Link a Flickr Picture on a Webpage

An image must reside in an Internet-accessible location in order for someone to see it when you link to or embed it in an email signature, blog post, webpage or other online content. If you don't have your own web hosting account, a free image file sharing service like Flickr is the next best thing for hosting your graphics online. You can display a Flickr image anywhere you can paste HTML code.

Instructions

1. Visit the Flickr page for the photo you want to include on your webpage.

2. Click the "Share This" button.

3. Click on "Grab the HTML/BBCode."

4. Choose the image size you want to use from the drop-down list.

5. Click once inside the box containing the HTML code. Press "Ctrl" + "A" to select all the code within the box. Press "Ctrl" + "C" to copy the code to your clipboard.

6. Open your webpage editing software or service. Paste the code in the spot where you want the image to appear by pressing "Ctrl" + "V." Contact your website provider if you are not sure how to edit the HTML of your page. Often, you need to press a button to toggle between regular and HTML editing mode.

7. Save your changes. When you visit your webpage in a browser, you should see the Flickr photo.

Tips & Warnings

• You cannot display a Flickr photo with a restricted status on another website.
