Images » Flickr Photos
Flickr is a leading web-based photo management application which allows users to upload, organize and share their favorite photos. It takes care of your image resizing, allows you to tag your photos, and even enables notes and comments to be submitted on each photo by visitors. What’s more, with just a few clicks, you can post a photo from your Flickr account onto your WordPress.com blog.
Setup
1) Sign up for a free Flickr account – http://flickr.com/
2) After logging in, visit the Your Account page.

3) On your account page, click the Extending Flickr tab.

4) In the Your blogs area, click Configure your Flickr-to-blog settings. Click Set up your blog.

8) You’re all set! A link will be provided to create a custom posting template, but this is not necessary to post Flickr images to your blog.

Blogging Your Photos
When you want to blog a photo, click on a photo from your photostream and look for the Blog This button right above it. You can then select your blog from the menu called Choose a blog below.

Complete the post information, including the title (by default, this will be the image’s name) and content. Click Post Entry.

Now you can view your blog to see your latest post, which you created without ever logging into your WordPress.com dashboard!
That’s all there is to it!
