The following tip was posted thanks to paintchip:

To do this, one needs to know a bit about HTML and specifically the IFRAME codes. Basically I just used the HTML, IFRAME codes along with the Widget options to include it from another HTML based Web Page.

The Steps I used were:

1. Built my HTML page to include the widget and a set of links to pages in my flickr albums - then posted this page online. ( I have my own domain. But if I didn't I could have used one of the kazillion free sites available.)
2. Went into the "EasyEdit" window for the page on my wiki where I wanted to include my flickr badge.
3. Accessed the widget controls and chose the "Other Widget" option.
4. In the code box I typed in the IFRAME code with the associated parameters so the widget would show my external html page in an IFRAME.
   

Walah! - My Flickr badge now shows on my Wiki page.

TIPS:

• Since links on any page nested inside an IFRAME, will open within the same IFRAME, I used the "_blank" parameter on the links that I wanted to open in a new browser window. That way my IFRAME stayed intact and doesn't change.

• I set the background color on my html page to be the same as the color in my wetpaint wiki style template, so the viewer would see no difference in the page.

I'll put together a tutorial on how to use the iframe code inside the "other widget". As it can be used for many different purposes. I'll try to post it this weekend if time allows.

Oops - Forgot to share with you a page addy to show what the results look like. Ugh! I hate when I do that. LOL

Here's an example page where I included a flickr badge and a row of links to various photo sets in my flickr album:
