Showcase your photos with the new embed widget

with 9 comments

Embed LifeblobAt lifeblob, we are constantly innovating to help you do more with your photos. Today, we announce the launch of a widget that is so unique and powerful in showcasing your photos that all existing widgets simply pale in comparison.
What is so unique about this widget?

If you look towards your right, you will see this widget embedded in the sidebar of this blog. The unique aspect of this widget is that it allows a viewer to browse through your entire public photo stream by simply scrolling through it.

Try scrolling down in the widget on your right and you will see that it keeps fetching more photos as you move down. This makes it really easy for you to showcase your entire photostream within the limited space available on your blog. And when the viewer likes a photo, he/she can click on it to see a larger version of the same – neat, isn’t it?

Whats more, as you add new photos to your photo stream, the old photos get pushed down and the new photos automatically start showing up in the widget!

Thats so cool – how do I get it on my blog?

Here are 3 simple steps in which you can quickly build this widget for your blog:

1) Sign up for a lifeblob account – yup, its required. How else would we get your photos?

2) During the signup process, you will be asked to link your existing flickr / picasa / photobucket / facebook accounts. Follow the instructions on the page to link up as many accounts as you want and we will get your photos from there.

3) After you finish the signup flow and reach your profile page, click on the “Embed” icon. You will then be taken to a page where you can get the embed code for your widget – simple!

So get all your photos on lifeblob and proudly showcase them to the world! Do let us know how you like this embed.
