In this tutorial, we will use Yahoo Pipes to build a mashup between your blog (or any blog with an RSS feed) and Flickr.

Yahoo Pipes is a great tool for creating simple mashups, and it is easy enough to use that even those without any programming experience can start building mashups.

To combine your blog with Flickr, we will first tell Yahoo Pipes to read your RSS feed. Once we have done this, we will tell Pipes to extract out the keywords of each article and use the first keyword to grab a picture from Flickr.

To get started, you will need to navigate to the Yahoo Pipes website at http://pipes.yahoo.com, login to your Yahoo account (if you are not already logged in), and then click on the Create a Pipe link at the top of the screen.

You should then be taken to the development screen pictured above.
