Overview

This WordPress plugin allows you to choose a photo from Flickr’s collection of
Creative Commons licensed photos, crop it, and use it as the header for your
WordPress site. You must setup your own Flickr API key to use it.

This plugin is still in development, and has only been tested with the
TwentyEleven theme. There are several features that are not implemented,
including deactivating a Flickr header. As it is my first wordpress plugin, I
expect it will break for some people. If it does, please create an issue
ticket in the GitHub repository, where this project is maintained:

https://github.com/ownlocal/flickr-header

Or even better – submit a pull request! 😉

Usage

To use the plugin, you must have a flickr API key. Sign up for one at:
