Embedding a Flickr photo

square snowman
I just keep feeling like I need to yell, "I did it!" every time I manage to complete a task for this class.  I am not a tech newbie, but I am learning so many new things.  I embedded this photo of Gwendolyn's square snowman by copying and pasting the HTML code from the "Share" section of this photo's page from my Flickr photostream.  It was easy to do now that I am so much more comfortable with the language on sites like Flickr and what all that HTML business means.

The advantage I can see for posting from Flickr to my blog is that clicking on the picture in the blog post takes me back to my Flickr photostream.  I could go on to view my other photos, add tags, etc.  I'm not sure if someone else could do that or not, but it is handy for me.  I will try accessing my blog as someone else and see what happens.

When I post a picture to my blog by uploading it directly, the picture stands alone.  Clicking on the image gives me a few choices about size, etc. but it doesn't link to anything else.  This could be good if I don't want to be able to navigate to my Flickr account through the image.
