FlickrTips WordPress Plugin
Displays popup photo thumbnails on mouseover of links to images and Flickr photo pages.
FlickrTips is a simple AJAX enhancement to hyperlinks within a WordPress blog. When the user mouses over a link to an image or a Flickr photo page or photoset, a small floating panel will appear near the mouse cursor with a thumbnail of the image. A grid of thumbnails is shown for photosets and tag links. The panel disappears when the mouse leaves the link.
This behaviour is disabled for links that contain images, since it would probably be redundant.
