iStockPhoto Search Plugin
I’m a regular user of iStockPhoto. Anyone who is in need of some stock imagery, be it photography, illustrations or Flash animations, iStockPhoto is your baby. Not only is there a huge range of stock available which pretty much fills your needs every time, it comes at a scarily low cost. Items are paid for with credits - 1 credit equates to approximately $1USD. Most items are available for no more than 5 credits so you are talking only a few quid for a completely legal and generally high quality image for your own needs.
Anyway, to get to the point, I thought I would make my iStockPhoto experience even easier to use by creating a Mozilla Firefox Search Plugin for the iStockPhoto. A quick Google search didn’t return anything that was already made so I just put one together myself.
If you’re interested, you can download the plugin yourself. Just unzip the two files into your Firefox searchplugins folder, restart Firefox and it will be in your search pulldown from here on in.
There you go - life made even easier by me and it was completely free! Enjoy.

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

Works great. Takes about 2 seconds to install and POOF-VOILA… simple and handy searchability on istockphoto from the convenience of your Google search bar!
Thanks DJ!
