Posted on 08. Dec, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

I have been using Creative Commons Flickr photos for blog posts for a while now, but I have often found the Flickr search to be slow and lackluster.  The regular Flickr search returns very few results per page and shows lots of information about them.  Most of the time I am searching Flickr for images to begin my posts with, so I don’t need all the extra information.
