Capture with Apture

Posted by Dr.D | November 6, 2008 .

image Another blogging app that I was introduced to at BlogWorld Expo last month. Little by little I’m trying them all on for size and affect. This one is a keeper for sure!

Apture allows you to add pictures, pop-up articles, videos, music and all sorts of good stuff to your post after you have published it!–without re-editing or republishing!

It works different than Zemanta, which is connected to the editor and you use as you’re writing. The good thing about Apture–you can use Zemanta first, add pics and links available from Zemanta, then publish the post. Go to the front page of your blog and take a look at the new post, turn on the Apture editor, find more stuff that you can add and embed in the post, and then put it all on without having to re-edit or republish it. Actually it is unbelievable!

If you have already added a link to a Wikipedia article through Zemanta, the Apture program automatically turns it into a pop-up when you point at it.

For example, in a recent articles on one of my blogs I linked Dr. James Dobson, and Knights of Columbus to articles in Wikipedia. Notice how Apture turns them into pop-ups when you hover over them. Also, Apture will allow you to capture any other media that might be available under that title or name–at the bottom of Dobson’s article you can click on and view a YouTube video of Dr. Dobson at TheCall. Later with just one click, I embedded the video below–between this paragraph and the next.

Last week, after writing an article about revival on one of my blogs, I found all sorts of great videos in the Apture mode and added some on. Hover over ‘revival’ above and see what I mean–here’s just one.

At first I didn’t think it would be all that useful for a Christian blog, but I was wrong. Also, it just takes a minute or so to ‘capture with Apture’ and transform your blog into a multi-media source.

Apture can be installed on the following platforms:

Check it out, it actually has far more features than I can tell you about in one post.            *Top
