Creative Commons & Flickr

I maybe a little behind the 8 ball with this, but I have just noticed that I can use a photo from Flickr and obtain a little embed that will tell my readers where, who and under what licence I have obtained the photo under.

Here's how you do it:

1. Find a cool photo on Flickr like this one from Skiwalker79




















2. Scroll down to the license information on the right and click on the "... rights reserved" link to view the license






3. This will take you a page on the Creative Commons site which not only tells you what licences the photo has but also a little embed code for pasting when you use the photo.
























4. Once you have pasted it it will look something like this.

















It doesn't bring in the photo & the CC licence in one swift fatal move, which would then move with the photo wherever it went, but it's a step in the right direction.
