How to: Embed n0tice updates in WordPress
Posted: June 14, 2012 Filed under: announcements, Features, user-help | Tags: collaboration, embed, n0tice 2 Comments »Bloggers and journalists have been quick to pick up on one of our most recent feature additions on n0tice.com – the ability to embed updates into blog posts and editorial Content Management Systems (CMS).
This feature means you can embed any update such as text, a tweet, video etc. into an article or post opening up the opportunity to use the noticeboard as an open space to liveblog or gather multiple story contributions, ready to curate into a finished, edited final version.
One of our n0tice users who has been pushing the live blog updates for its multimedia abilities is Franzi Baehrle who owns the stimulating Visual Brum noticeboard.
She recently carried out an extensive live blog using multiple updates and a variety of media.
As this blog is built on worpress.org, for demonstration purposes, I’ve been able to embed it below.
It’s the same process I used to edit just a weekend of events out of the extensive user submitted listings from The Northerner blog but in this case the embeds were made via the company’s CMS. You can see that here.
Hi n0tice
I’m oddly confused by this embedding business. I’ve followed all the previous instructions and have the n0tice widget in my wordpress website but it does nothing. Not sure where i’m going wrong?!
cheers
Hi Kathryn, this set of embedding didn’t require the widget. Instead it was created from the n0tice article page. If you have the article open in front of you you’ll see there’s some tabs across the top – updates, comments, map view and then embed. It’s the embed code generated there that does the business. Does that help?
