Hi Pam,

Thanks for stopping and commenting; I’m glad you found the info helpful.

I know there is a Flickr plugin (available here: Flickr Plugin ) that you can add to your WP site.

This plugin then enables the Flickr widget which you can add you your side bar (McLaren (see email) has a video about how to set-up the Flickr widget once the plugin is activated.

This only provides the ability to add images (up to 20 I believe) so you would then have to add a regular text widget immediately under it to complete the “About Me”.

I hope that helps … let me know if you have any questions.

Jim H.

Hi Jim – Thank you for the easy to understand information. I was wondering if we can add a photo in the side bar. I was trying to do a sort of “about me” in the side bar and couldn’t figure out how to insert a photo. Many thanks.

Hi Phillip … you’re very welcome. I know that many people have issues with some of these tasks but when they get to actually see it done via a video they realize it is more than doable Even better, since this is something most of us only do on occasion, they can always re-visit for a refresher. Thanks for the support!
