OK, so I finally found my Flicker password after a year or two, returned to the site, found it entirely new, and, basically, incomprehensible. The directions (?) so far as I can follow them, tell me that I have to use the direct link within the "share" folder above the picture. Unfortunately, the URL looks like this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/73101296@N04/6595165703/

Which takes me to the page with the image, but not the image itself (which, I assume, should be a URL ending in " .jpg ") Could someone pls take me by the hand and show me how to get to the image on that page, and not the page itself?

TIA!

Geo

The way I do it is I right-click the image, and choose "Medium 640" from the little menu that appears. This takes me to another page with my image & all the size options above it. On this page, I right-click the image, and choose "Open image in new tab" (I use Chrome...I believe Firefox & IE have similar options). The image opens in a new tab, with a "staticflickr.com" URL that can be copied & used here. For the image you linked to above, it's this:

Well, duh, that was easy enough. Not only that I can see what the code is doing. Kühl!

Tnx GP!

Per Flickr Community Guidelines
"Pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr."
Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

The way that Geo has it does do it, but just having the .jpg file alone doesn't satisfy their requirement.
