Add some Action to Your Blog

While I was out at Blogher this weekend, I watched the demonstration for a great product.

Great Find: Film Loop

Permalink: http://blog.filmloop.com/

Audience/Topic: All Bloggers

Content: Film loop is an HTML looping tool that can be added to any blog. Put it in your header or within a post.You can use it to showcase photos. Click on a picture to stop and look more closely. It’s easy to use. Just drag and drop photos from your files. Then capture the HTML code for the loop. You can share the loop and allow others to add their photos.

You can also get creative and put jpgs of your latest posts in the loop, hyperlink the jpgs to the post, and let them crawl across the top of your blog for readers to have easy access. Be careful if you try this, it has the potential of being quite distracting. Use product scans. Add captions if you want to. This is a powerful tool that you’ll find a wealth of uses for in your blogging business. Be sure to check out the many blogs in the post that are in the demo. To see the demo, click the title below.

    Great call, Liz. FilmLoop is also great to put on a teaser page while building out a blog (or site). We’ve done this at http://www.foundthingsdsm.com, a boutique of great finds, while we build the blog.

    Wow ! Thanks Liz !

    This little puppy will wow some of the folks that I blog for. They’ve never seen anything like this and it’ll make me even more of a Wonderboy to them.

    Too bad I won’t even give you credit for showing it to me….;-)

    Hi Mike Samsone!
    Sorry to answer late. Akismet took a liking to your comment.

    What a great idea! I think that makes great sense and lovely elegance to a situation where under construction was usually the norm. :)

    Yeah, she’s pretty quiet when she surfs too. She doesn’t know what to say a lot of the time.

    It ate you again. I wonder why.
    Sometimes it just takes a liking to certain folks. You don’t have jelly on your keyboard do you? :)

    Hi Liz,

    This is pretty cool. To me, it’s a cross between Flickr and Microsoft’s Photo Story.

    I’ve submitted my book, so now I can read your blog more often. Great to be back.
