Should have made it clearer that I was referring to using the WordPress.COM flickr widget, which you can add to your blog sidebar. (You can't use the widget created by flickr here.)

http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=8142454@N05&lang=en-us&format=rss_200

The new Support FAQ about using the flickr widget is here http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/23/

You can copy that directly from Flickr, or you can do it manually.

<a href="URL HERE"><img src="URL HERE" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT"></a>

Flickr's TOS require a link back to them so that's why I've included the <a> code. You can set the size of the image so that it doesn't break your sidebar (probably no more than about 150px in width).

Use the backticks (key next to the 1 on your keyboard) to display the code in the forums.

In both Flickr and Text, I get wording but no visible pictures. In Flickr, I can click on the name and get the associated picture. In othe WordPress blogs I see the actual picture. I tried to load a picture into a Text side bar and only get the name without the ability to click on it for the picture. I would like in both cases to see the actual picture. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
