Adding images to posts can be time consuming. A quick option is to blog directly from Flickr. Not only can you quickly write the post but it also adds a image attribution
To blog directly from Flickr you first need to configure your external blog with your Flickr account (which you do here. Alternatively click on the drop drown arrow on You and choose your Account , Click on the Extending Flickr link and the edit alongside Your blogs. Follow the instructions to link your blog with your account (for edublogs users you select the WordPress blog).
For Edublogs users your blog URL address needs to look like this:
http://aquaculturepda.edublogs.org/xmlrpc.php i.e. Add xmlrpc.php to the end of your blog URL.
Now that your blog is configured whenever you see a photo on Flickr you would like to blog about just click on the Blog This link above the photo and write your post.
This post was written as a demonstration of what a post looks like when blogged from Flickr. Hope you like my quick demonstration 🙂
