    Look for a "Feature Image" option on the right side, bottom of your post editor. Refer to the Theme DOC's to see if a certain size is need or if they are re sized automatically..also to see if you need to set a cache folder within the theme to certain permissions.

    There is a possible bug in the Aggregate WordPress theme from Elegant Themes.
    Thumbnails are rendered differently from single posts pages and from blog style templates. Thumbnails in single posts are using the ‘thumb’ class, are missing the white frame visible on other pages and appear broken when the thumbnail is smaller than the dimensions of the thumbnail. In addition, the size of the thumbnails is 200×200 instead of 184×184 like in blog pages.
    The fixed code should go in the ‘Single.php’ file.
    In short – edit ‘Single.php’ and :
    • reduce the size of thumbnail to 184×184
    • change the class of thumbnail to ‘et_pt_thumb alignleft’ instead of ‘thumb’
    <?php
    $thumb = '';
    $width = 184;
    $height = 184;
    $classtext = 'single-thumb';
    $titletext = get_the_title();
    $thumbnail = get_thumbnail($width,$height,$classtext,$titletext,$titletext,false,'Entry');
    $thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"];
    ?>

    <?php if($thumb <> '') { ?>
    <div class="et_pt_thumb alignleft">
    <?php print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height, $classtext); ?>
    <span class="overlay"></span>
    </div> <!-- end .thumb -->
    <?php } ?>

    Feel free to ask if you are having trouble!!

    That's the way it's supposed to work. You aren't supposed to be able to hot link images from somewhere else. You save them to you own computer and upload them into your site.
    Hotlinking is bad. People hate that,

    The only exception is if you are using some kind of Flickr plug in, which works using RSS feed.

    There are a ton. Most have to do with showing images from Flickr in a sidebar widget.
    I'm not sure what features you are looking for, so you'll have to search the repository to see what's there that has what you want.

    I don't know of anything that exists as a plug in to do that. But I'm not sure.
    Will probably take a little custom coding if your intent is to pull them from Flickr.
