NEW BLOGGER'S ADD TO YOUR BLOG FOR FREE.

For busy people who do not have the time to maintain a blog, or you have multiple blogs to worry about. Flickr. is an excellent way of getting great photos and sometimes and sometimes the writing from the original bog itself.

A great example is Chocolate Cardamom and Cappuccino, the blog has not only used a blog photo from someone else, but the colour tones are great as well.

To add a blog to Flickr, you need to create an account name. To create an account name you need to have a yahoo identity as Flickr is owned by Yahoo. However you only need one identity as more than one blog can be added. Create a yahoo email address if necessary.

Open Flickr's home page, as seen in the first screen shot above. Register your account. Then configure your external blog, under your account page their is a section called "your blogs". You may create a custom layout, if you are tidy and have created a layout. This template will control where the photographs are displayed on your blog. If you do not carry out this step then the post will be at the top right.

How to choose and blog the photographs
You may blog any of the public photos they are in the public domain and can be used freely. When you actually blog them they have a link to the original person who uploaded them. I chose to type in chocolate cake and the first photograph was the screen shot below.

Click on the photograph you have selected and it will open another page with the single photograph you have selected.




Visible on the screen shot at the top left hand corner is "blog this" it appears smaller on the web page itself. Not all the photos are i nhte publuic domain, but if they are blog away. Clicking hte bog this option will only give you the photograph if you want to add the recipe, or the written text then you have to copy and paste it into your blog window, shown on the webpage.
