(2019 update. Flickr was adquired by another company and free accounts are limited to 1000 photographs. They are very reasonable about the reasons. But in relation to the photographes I posted… I had to get time to resize them and using the storage of WordPress. I could leave one thousand photographs here and in Flickr but it would not be a good idea in the long term. I am leaving online this method if you want to use this method for your WordPress)
WordPress gives you 3GB of storage to upload photographs. Sounds a lot but it’s not, I don’t have time to resize my thousands of photographs and I post a photograph every day, and one day a week I post longer articles with several photographs to illustrate travels or ideas. Today I’ve in Flickr 32GB of photographs. I can’t consider to purchase a professional WordPress to get more storage because it’s just a hobby and it would horrible if some year I couldn’t pay the annual fee and suddenly my readers just would see black images.
My solution: storage my photographs in Flickr (it makes it for free) and share the links here.
The result: after more than five hundreds posts I’ve only used 17MB of my 3GB. Almost nothing.
How to do it:
1.-To the photographs previously updated left click in the arrow, that’s the button to get the links
2.- In the menu that is going to be displayed select BBCode and the size you want to publish on WordPress
3.- Grab just a part of the resulting link. Otherwise you’re not going to get option to add caption and a link
For example. The complete link would be: [url=https://flic.kr/p/u1g4TS][img]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/350/18380922274_862f6b4119_b.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/u1g4TS]How to post c[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/people/12349353@N03/]Francis. R[/url], on Flickr
You have to paste just the highlighted part. I call it the second body of the link. Flickr doesn’t support an easier way to share (as I want) photographs to WordPress so I had to use several trial and errors until get this method.
4.- Open the option to add photographs in WordPress
5.- Paste the fragment of the link I indicated and fill the optional data if you wish
Sometimes when there are several photographs I type the captions to each photograph. When the caption is the title then I leave it in blank. Optionally you can add a link so you can direct the photograph to the full screen version in Flickr. If you don’t want to do it then this is your last step. If you want to do it then see the next steps.
6.- To set a link to the photograph first in Flickr make it full screen and copy the link of the web browser
7.- Paste the link in the post and end clicking “Insert in post” option
And that’s all! I hope this little manual can serve you ;-)
