How to Embed a Flickr Image in a WordPress Blog
Flickr has millions of images released under a Creative Commons license. As a result, it can be a valuable source of pictures for your blog if you are not a photographer yourself. To use an image from Flickr, you could download it to your computer and upload it to your Web server. However, this consumes space and can drain the server's resources. To circumvent this problem, use the embedding code on a Flickr image to add it to a blog post while hosting it on Flickr's servers.
