It’s good to hear some of the warnings here. Thanks for those who responded to my question. I guess to be on the safe side, anyone with a remotely commercial blog should be using only pictures under the Attribution License category, and even then with care.

I guess my question was, at what point is something classed as a commercial blog? Most people here make a few pennies from their blog, but relatively few actually make a living, so are they nevertheless technically misusing Flickr photos by claiming non-commercial use?

I echo ProPhotographer – go to that link .. you will see why this plugin is going to place you at risk.

The vast majority of flickr users have utterly NO idea what their CC rights are, what they are giving away and their responsibility in terms of releases. When YOU commercialize it with your on-blog money making activities… you become liable as well as the photographer.

Also, MANY people who are doing this CC want linkage back to their own blog (you can understand that right?). They want their own pagerank to increase. Flickr directed linkages give all the juice to flickr, not the copyright owner.

Repeat after me: Flicker is not a stock agency .. say it three times before hitting “post” on your blog while using this plugin.

Go to Darrens digital photography blog and learn how to use a camera and take your own much more interesting photos.

Now that is a really useful plugin.
Pity I don’t use wordpress software, but maybe I’ll switch.

I usually edit photos I find on the web after checking if they have clear copyright on them. This plugin is a way to ensure you only use legitimate photos. Awesome!

This plug-in is absolutely a heaven sent piece! I’m always looking for photos and then everytime I use the same photo twice (from Flicker), I have go back to old posts to find out the name of the person who it could be credited back to.

This has potential to save a lot of time.

I just hope this plug-in will also allow me to find previously used photos that I want to use again. For instance, I have a weekly gratitude post and I like using a few of the images over and over again (ie gratitude photos).

That is a great plugin. So many people use flickr images that it is invaluable to them. So far I have always created custom images, but maybe at some point I shall delve into flickr.

I actually don’t like this plugin. I like using Flickr and I use Wordpress. I like when other people use my photos in their blogs too. But I specify that I want credit to point to my personal site and not to Flickr. If someone likes and uses my photo (for instance, Consumerist has used four of mine if I remember correctly) I would far prefer that they send any traffic to my site than to Flickr.

Perhaps I will need to change my licensing.

Bloggers,

Make sure you can use the images on Flickr as many of them (even if marked for commercial use) are not usable.

Why?

That’s fabulous! Though I love istockphoto.com and just learned about lucky oliver, I would like to expand my pool of good quality and affordable images for my website and WP blog design business. I love WordPress!
