A new blog widget and other updates on Whrrl!
On Friday, we rolled out some sweet updates to the Whrrl Web site. Why did we do this? Quite simply, we took the feedback from you, our users, on ways we can continue to make the Whrrl experience the best possible, and we implemented those ideas. We’ll have more updates to come…
Here are some of the changes along with how they can help you make the most of Whrrl online:
Add Whrrl stories to your blog
Now, you can add five of your most recent public Whrrl stories on your blog with our all-new Whrrl web widget! By bringing Whrrl stories to your blog, you can add a rich, real-time element, and even allow your readers to interact with your stories as they are happening! It’s simple to get the widget!
- Log into Whrrl.com and go to http://whrrl.com/widgets.
- You’ll see a widget on the page customized just for you (which will appear on your blog).
- There’s a box at the bottom of the page containing the HTML code for the widget.
- Just copy and paste it into your blog and you’re ready to go!
- For an example of a Whrrl widget in action, visit the blog for blogger @jessicaknows: www.jessicaknows.com.
Have more control of your story content
In addition to the newly added feature to delete photos and comments you’ve posted from the Web, we’ve now given you more control over the content in stories you create, too. Now, you have the ability to delete photos and any content that you or others post to your story. Since the story is yours, we believe you should have the ability to control all the content in your stories.
Say which stories you like – and share them!
When you see a story you like, say so! We’ve added the “like it” icon to stories. If you like a story, click “like it”! In addition, you have the option to share stories from others through your network of friends on Facebook, Twitter and Digg. By clicking the Facebook, Twitter or Digg logo, you can send the story link to your network on that respective site. You have the ability to edit the text and confirm the message before sending it to your friends in those networks.
We hope you’re enjoying these changes! As always, we love hearing what you think. Email your thoughts and/or questions to feedback@whrrl.com.
