Blogging Tools

  • Postable - a nifty online tool to very quickly convert html code into code that you can include in posts.
  • WPthemez - social bookmarking tool for Wordpress themes with voting tools.
  • Yahoo! Shortcuts plugin for Wordpress? As you write your blog post, Shortcuts look for content matching yours - Flickr photos, places, companies, products, people etc.. If Shortcuts finds relevant content, it will let you know. I have just installed this and you can see the resulting images in this post.
  • Mig of Top Hosting Center has written a review of JS Kit, some very useful blogging tools that don’t suck.Jazz up your Google homepage with themes or learn to create themes for yourself. I chose a beach scene which dynamically changes according to the time of day.
  • There is a Google Talk widget for adding to blogs but I had problems getting it to behave in IE and, as I should have guessed, readers have to have a Google account to be able to use it.

Hi, Sueblimely. Thank you so much for including my Social Desire post, “51 Favorite SU, Sphinn, Twitter & Facebook Posts of 2007.” It was a lot of fun to put together.

Can you just do me a favor and make one minor correction. Where you say, “… StumbleUpon Expert, Shana on Social Desire.com…” You only highlight Desire.com & actually have the link out to Desire.com which is not a site related to Social Media. The link should point to my Social Media Blog, http://www.SocialDesire.com :grin:

Thank you so much in advance for making that correction. And, thank you again for including the link to my post.

Sorry about that Shana. I think I know how it happened too. Yahoo shortcuts picked words to highlight to find media to include in the post. It jumped on the word ‘desire’, suggesting the kind of image that I did not desire on here :shock:

In fiddling around to delete the yahoo code I must have altered the URL to your site too.
