Posting to Your Blog from Flickr

Setting up Flickr so you can post directly to your Blog

- Log into your Flickr account
- Click on the “You” tab
- From the menu that drops down, choose “Your Account”
- Choose the tab “Extending Flickr”
- Under the area “Your Blogs” click on “Configure Blogs”
- Click on “Set Up Your Blog”
- Choose “Blogger Blog” (or your blog site)
- Flickr will tell you to go log into your blog, click on the link that says “Head over to (your blog) now”
- This will open a window that asks you to log into your Blog. Log in with the same email/password you use to access your Blog.
- Click on “Grant Access”
- Click on “All Done”
- Click on the link that will take you back to set up on Flickr

After that is done, it will ask if you want to set up a blogging template. This allows you to choose the size of your picture thumbnail and where it will appear in your blog entry and make this your default setting.

After you have done this, you can find a picture in your account, and above the picture it will say “Blog This!” When you click on that picture, it will take you to blog entry page. Flickr will post your image, whatever caption you have typed below the image in Flickr, and then the blog entry you can now enter on this screen.
