Service for convenient embedding of content 200+ services in your website / blog



This morning I came across information about an interesting Embedly service ( looking ahead, saying that I tested this service on my Wordpress blog, everything works ), which makes it easy to embed the content of most well-known services (including Tumblr, Twitter and others). This service works with oEmbed technology, which has existed for several years. Probably, this service was the first to start a large-scale implementation of this technology. By the way, most well-known services and CMS have oEmbed support, so the Embedly service team just had to establish a bridge between the content source and the platform that wants to host the content. What was done.

In principle, there are quite a few plug-ins for various CMS that allow embedding content from YouTube, Hulu, Flickr, Vimeo and others into your website / blog. Nevertheless, it is much more convenient to work with one plugin than with 10-15, agree. The same worpdress when using the plug from Embedly becomes even more versatile. By the way, this CMS received support oEmbed, starting with version 2.9.

Now Embedly works with CMS such as Drupal or Joomla. As mentioned above, Embedly allows you to insert content into your blog / site on the fly, working with 200+ services. Like many other services, Embedly offers two packages of functions: paid and free. The free package supports almost all the functions that an average webmaster would need.

It is quite simple to work with the service: we install the plugin, and select the services we want to work with in the admin panel of our CMS.

Inserting content from third-party services using Embedly is possible in a couple of minutes (a screen with Wordpress).





It should be noted that each service has its own settings when inserting a URL, but this will not cause difficulties even for a novice user. In order, for example, to insert a specific tweet from Twitter, it is enough to specify the permanent address of this message when inserting.

Here is the address of the test page .

With other services work is exactly the same. In general, a really interesting service, I will definitely work with it on my resource (CMS Wordpress).

UPD Just checked on my Twitter account, Flickr (protected pictures are also inserted) and YouTube works fine. Well, many thanks to the developers.
