I forget that you have to have an account to use it, too. I've been making some videos the past couple of days...damn, I forgot how tedious videomaking was!! Oh, right.

For images, even if you choose the various size (if you're given that option) you want, you still have to do a right-click and open the image in a new tab or window, then copy that address. For Blog option, it's still a pain as you post within Flickr, then you'd have to go into your account and grab the code. ...I think this is what Bart's geekin out on.

The "embed" function exposes the code and surpasses all these limitations. They should offer it for photos too, not just video.

Because that's pretty damn easy and I use it all the time. You can use Blog instead of Embed for videos, too. Are you talking about something else besides the “blog” button?

Flickr should make that HTML snippet available to other people besides me! Yes yes, but I’m talking about letting other people use my images.

You'll see both a static link and an HTML snippet for embedding the image (if it's your photo and you're logged in.)
