If you are trying to add a single Flickr photo or picture to a Tumblr post, you can do so by just grabbing a link.  Here is how.

Add a single Flickr photo to Tumblr with a Link.

1. First, go to the Flick page that has the photo you want posted on Tumblr.
2. On the right side of the screen there’sa link called Share This, when you click on it you obtain a drop down menu that has among other option, Grab The HTML, click on it again, you will get this code


<a title="Example Title" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/example/394839483948/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/4568838938_8cd973a1a0.jpg" alt="iPad workstation" width="500" height="334" /></a>


3. The code you are looking for to add a single Flickr Photo to Tumblr is not the entire code, but just the url that ends with .jpg, being the following in this case;

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/4568838938_8cd973a1a0.jpg

4. Now go to your dashboard, create a Photo Post and in the edition screen, use the Add URL option, pasting the above link.

This post is written spefically for those who are trying to import Flickr photos, pictures or images in photostreams, meaning, not a single picture, since that can be done through a single photo post in Tumblr (that I will explain in another post as well).  We can integrate both Flickr and Tumblr through the RSS feed import service that Tumblr has, but we won’t do this directly.  The problem many tumblelogs have is that they actually display the flickr picture as a thumbnail, not in a regular size.  We will use a yahoo service called Yahoo Pipes, and the only thing you need is to grab the Flickr Feed you want to import.

How to Import PhotoStream Flickr Pictures to Tumblr using an RSS Feed.

1. First of all go grab the Flick RSS photostream you want, you can get one from groups, users (even yourself), this is what it looks like;

http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=3333333@N02&lang=en-us&format=rss_200

2. Go to Customize >>>> Services >>> , and then choose import RSS, paste the flickr feed and choose Photo from the dropdown menu on the right, finally, save and close.
3. If, after doing this, the photos that you are currently importing from Flickr to Tumblr through the RSS feed are displayed as Thumbnails, you will need to use Yahoo Pipes to integrate it more properly.  This guide will tell you exactly how.

NOTE: If you are still having problems importing flickr pictures as photostreams to Tumblr using the RSS feed service just leave a comment and we’ll help you.
