Do you use Creative Commons images in Flickr ? Do you use Firefox, Safari, Chrome as your web browser? well you might want to check out the Flickr CC Attribution Helper tool produced by Alan Levine COGDOG which automatically generates a script you can cut an paste from flickr onto your blog, wiki etc. for attribution. It’s a great time saver and ensures you always have the correct and consistent CC attribution for flickr images.

I have produced a video on how to install the components for Firefox. Select 720 HD and full screen option for better quality
