Flickr CC Attribution Helper is a little hack/tool I created, use and maintain since 2009 to make cut and paste of Creative Commons attribution for flickr photos a one click deal.
The flickr cc attribution helper is among my most proud creations; I can pretty much tell when I read other blogs who is using it. And it all started from the most important place, something to make my blogging practice easier. I’d written earlier about an unintended outcome of moving it from a browser extension […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]
Right there is a test of new flavor of my flickr cc attribution helper where it generates copy/paste code to put the image in a wordpress post, but place the attribution text in a WordPress image caption structure. This is the default output using the regular version of the helper, but in making a new […]

As of yesterday, when apparently yahoo […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Tom Sigh, I found a case where my script was not working (it was for photo ownsers who never set themselves a nickname). I had to dig in deeper than I have gone with XPath, and was mostly my own ignorance as to whay I […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by sn0wcrash I had to make another tiny update to my flickr cc attribution helper script, more or less fixing my own goofs. The thing that was happening was the attribution was not appearing on your own photos (if you were logged into flickr), but […]

I was a bit incredulous when Bill the Repair technician opened the case, and whacked the hard drive with his screwdriver, […]
