More trouble trying to embed photos for a TR!

After my initial problems, i got some assistance (thanks willowisp), and i got it licked!

But now, flickr have changed their layout for photos, and i can't seem to grab the URL properly to embed the photos anymore.

Can anyone help?

PS, only 2 more posts and i'm officially a FULL member yippee!  ;D

Hi Cliff.
 
When i use flickr, I go into photostream and right click on the photo I need.  Then click onto properties and copy the URL.
 
Go back to your message in WF, and click on the Insert Image icon above the smilie faces.
 
Then I get a pop up where I paste the URL
 

 
Seems to work.  Although when I did my trip report this picture came out small for some reason.
 
Hope this helps.

Got it now.....

> Select your photo.
> Right click on the photo.
> Select appropriate size. (I select medium)
> Right click on subsequent photo at desired size.
> Select "Copy Image Location"
> Back in WF post, open "insert image"
> Paste in the copied info.

Hey Presto:
 

Thanks Starling, (i've put the process down above so i don't forget it !  ;D )
