 * I manage two successful websites [http://www.operawarhorses.com](http://www.operawarhorses.com)
   and [http://www.coastalresearch.org](http://www.coastalresearch.org). Both use
   photos that I edit and resize in my flickr.com photostream. This week, flickr
   has changed the processes by which photos can be placed into WordPress websites.
 * For the past three years, I have edited my photos to the size I utilize on m 
   main site, whose dimensions are 425 pixels horizontal or 400 pixels vertical.
 * Once I had my picture as I wanted it, I would go to “All Sizes” pick the right
   
   size for the purpose, use the “Add an Image” function using the “From URL” and
   then paste the “Image URL” into the “Add Media File from URL” prompt box.
 * Now, if I try to do that I get a red X at the left side of the “Image URL” line.
 * Can anyone tell me what I should do to continue to use flickr for these two
    
   websites? I was happy with the old ways of doing things, but don’t understand
   how to work with the changes.
 * I know I have probably not raised this question in the right place, but do not
   know where I should begin on this.
