The plugin also has cache support, allowing you to save thumbnails on your own server.

Installation

1. Put the flickrRSS files into your plugins directory.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Configure your options under the Settings tab.
4. To use an image cache, create a writable directory and specify its location in the settings.
5. Add <?php get_flickrRSS(); ?> to your templates where you want the images to appear (or use the widget system).
