			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve got a Flickr account, it&#8217;s now really simple to use your photos from Flickr and embed them in posts and pages on your UCalgaryBlogs.ca site. I&#8217;ve just enabled a plugin that adds a Flickr media button above the editing form, like this (it&#8217;s the 2 dots, taken from the Flickr logo):</p>

<p><a href="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/mediaflickr.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65" src="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/mediaflickr.png" alt="" width="257" height="28" /></a></p>

<p>If you click that, you&#8217;ll be presented with a utility to select photos from your Flickr account:</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/flickr_select_photo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-66 aligncenter" src="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/flickr_select_photo.png" alt="" width="500" height="377" /></a></p>

<p>You can search your own photos, or photos posted by other Flickr users. Once you select a photo, you can define the size and placement of the image using the controls provided:</p>

<p><a href="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/flickr_set_image_properties.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67" src="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/flickr_set_image_properties.png" alt="" width="422" height="257" /></a></p>

<p>and once selected, the Flickr photo is embedded in a post, like this:</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a title="dawn over the bow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/51035644987@N01/2821033377/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://static.flickr.com/3087/2821033377_52e0a125ca.jpg" alt="dawn over the bow" /></a></p>

<p>Before using it, you&#8217;ll have to authorize UCalgaryBlogs.ca to allow access to your Flickr account &#8211; it&#8217;s safe, and the plugin walks you through it in the Settings section of the WordPress Admin interface.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/mediaflickr_settings.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-68 aligncenter" src="http://dlnorman.ucalgaryblogs.ca/files/2008/09/mediaflickr_settings.png" alt="" width="437" height="239" /></a></p>

<p>Just click the &#8220;Flickr authenticate&#8221; button, and a new browser window will open, where Flickr.com will ask if you authorize this connection between your blog and Flickr account. You can revoke this at any time, and it won&#8217;t add or edit anything on Flickr. If you approve this, just follow the instructions on that page, and close that browser window (or tab) when finished.</p>

<p>Then, just click the &#8220;Finish authenticate&#8221; button, so your blog will store your Flickr account ID.</p>
