Shelley,

Send me an example of how an attribution should appear, and I’ll make you that script.

Alan,
You rock (I’ve used the old version and I’m downloading this one)! And the citation person in me (after doing four chapters of citations in the textbook…I either claim some expertise or no expertise) wonders if you might consider the following in future versions (yeah, I’m not playing with GreaseMonkey scripts unless we’re both together at some CyberSalon):
*access date (the date they grab the script)
*name of the picture
Lots of the citation guidelines want date of access on the internet because it can be so fluid.

Alan – I give this script 5 barks at the moon. Incredible!

Thanks MIchael, I’m just a new born pup to Greasemonkey but it has incredible power to customize your web experience (Scott Leslie has done a lot in this area).

I did play with photo dropper for a while, and while I did find it handy, the search interface of getting only 5 at a time and having to page through results was tedious, and it was hard to get a feel for an image from a tiny icon– it is so much more glorious to use http://compfight.com where you can scan like 100 at a time.

Great idea, Alan.. if i can work out how to use greasemonkey in chrome, i’ll have a go at using it ;-]

.. you know about the photo dropper plugin for wordpress don’t you? Really useful if you’re looking for a generic theme-based image.. searches flickr creative commons for you, and adds link, licence etc. Your script brilliantly fills the gap when you already have a photo in mind.

best regards, michael
