This is what you posted, and it is not the right URL:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/33944974@N08/5187177903/in/photostream/

Use the Share This option that is above the pic, and choose Grab the HTML/BBcode, click the BBcode option, then just copy and paste what is there into the post. Flickr already adds the image tags into the code.... This is what yours looks like:

[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/33944974@N08/5187177903/][img]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5187177903_8dd6f01023.jpg[/img][/url]

resulting in this:

Wow, that's just awesome!

It really gels with my inner geek but I don't think I'd dare carry that in public! Cheesy

Hoooooly Carp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My DS & DF would LOOOVE that skin for their Kindles. My DS would literally go bazonkers for that! The screensavers he already has.. but the skin? you say it's a custom one, so you uploaded it and they made it?

Yes, if you use the "create" tool at Gelaskins, you can upload pretty much any photo and they print it as a skin.

That's probably a custom screensaver from a voodoo magick hack.

That is awesome. I wouldn't want to carry it though... not because I would be embarrassed, but because I think too many people would ask what it is  Cheesy
