I don't actually see anywhere to copy and paste HTML to hotlink images
from Flickr.  I only see a download link, and that only after clicking
a tiny and easily-missed "All Sizes" link just above the image.  Does
the HTML only appear on some images?

If we're talking about likelihood of getting missed, ImageShack's
approach sure seems to be pretty noticeable:

But that uses a lot of screen real estate.
