Blog Content – do you want someone else to do it for you?
Again, it’s a Twitter based story (sorry), and I need to write this before I forget. I was contacted on Twitter by eLearning 3.0 and replied. Then I stayed on his (?) profile and had a look back over the previous posts and questions / replies.
Then I decided to visit the blog and read about him (I’ll refer to him as a ‘him’ for the sake of making it more personal, but am happy to be corrected if I’m wrong!) and found that he’s now listed on the eLearning Learning website. Now this is where the story jumps a bit as I’m not sure where I went next but I ended up on the post on Jane’s blog, where she mentioned something called Apture.
You heard of it before? No, me neither. As it said “Add multimedia to your site with one click” it sounded interesting so I thought I’d take a peek.
Wow, not bad! Reading through the blurb it integrates seamlessly into WordPress (nice) and enables me to quickly embed pictures, video, news, etc from other websites including YouTube, CNN, BBC, Yahoo, and many more. By downloading the Apture file from their website, including it the ‘wp-plugins’ directory in mine, I can now easily add content to my posts without going through the hassle of searching and logging in.
I’m still not convinced the security and other settings work, and the ability to somehow edit my post without logging in to WordPress doesn’t fill me with much faith, but I’ll trial it for a while and let you know how I get on. I’ll somehow put a list together later to let you know what content has come from Apture in my posts.
If you already use it, or are going to start, then please let me know, post a reply / comment here and we’ll try it out together?
