If you’re like me, then you’ll love adding pretty pics to your posts to make them look, well, pretty – but you’ll not have a lot of time to spend working out which images you can legally use and how to attribute them properly. Well, fear not – help is at hand. The amazing Alan Levine (@cogdog on Twitter) has created a handy little tool which you can add to the bookmark bar in your browser. Now, when you browse Flickr for appropriate images, all you need to do is to click on it, and hey presto you can find out within seconds the text to add to your image to attribute it properly.
Thanks Alan!
This pic is of a dog, but not the actual cogdog!
I did a quick video showing the use of Flickr search tools combined with the handy Levine tool. Hope you don’t mind me posting.
