How to link Flickr photos to my Yahoo 360?

I can VIEW my photos but I can’t LINK them back to my Yahoo 360 page like I have seen other 360 users do. When I am in my Flickr account, I click on “Blog This” only because I don’t see any other way to get my photos back to Yahoo 360. The message I get after I click “Blog This” is “You haven’t configured a blog to post to yet. Why not do that now?” So I click ‘do that now’ thinking I’ll be able to link/configure, or whatever, to my Yahoo 360 page. Wrong! Instead, I get lingo I don’t understand nor is explained anywhere. I’m asked, “What kind of blog do you have?” With the choices given in the drop down window, I’m stumped. I don’t KNOW, apparently, WHAT kind of blog I have!?!? So, now what??? Clicking on “Blog This” seemed logical at the time . . . so, like many others, HOW DO I GET MY PHOTOS ONTO MY YAHOO 360 BLOG?

This will explain how to get your URL address of your photo

Putting more then one photo in a blog
Reply:First, make sure that the photos status' on Flickr is set to PUBLIC.





Then, you can set up a Flickr photostream on your "Top Page" in 360.


- Click on your 360 "My Page" link at the top


- Click on the "Share Photos" link in your Photos module on the right side


- Scroll down to the Flickr section and follow the instructions there. Make sure that you select "Public" or "Friends" in the "Can be seen by:" dropdown before saving.


NOTE: The photos may not show up immediately - it may take 3 days in some cases. Lastly, there have been problems for people who create new Flickr accounts but use the same Yahoo ID as their Flickr ID. See http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... . So, be careful on how you set up your free Flickr account. If that's what has happened, you can change it.
