Over the next few weeks, I’m going to publish different tips on how to get the best from Flickr. Here is the first set. This shows you how to format your profile and your image descriptions. In other words, if you want to bold, italic, underline or even add hyperlinks to other sites, maybe different blogs you run or want to recommend.
To include a Flickr photo or video in your profile, copy and paste its URL between square brackets, for example:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivanwalsh/3620775571/]
To include a set icon, do this:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivanwalsh/sets/72157619952218624/]
To format any text you want to add in Flickr, for example, in your profile or when describing an image, you can use these HTML tags:
HTML Tag Attributes
<a href=”URL”>link</a> ‘href’, ‘target’, ‘rel’, ‘name’
<strong>strong</strong>
<b>bold</b>
<blockquote>
blockquote
</blockquote>
<em>emphasis</em>
<i>italic</i>
<img src=”URL”> ’src’, ‘width’, ‘height’, ‘alt’, ‘title’
<u>underlined</u>
<s>strike</s>
<del>deleted</del>
