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.
Celebrating noticeboards on Flickr
Posted: July 28, 2011 Filed under: announcements | Tags: collaboration, community, flickr, group, n0tice, noticeboard, notices, pictures, project Comments OffUp and down the country people are busy posting important things to share on their community noticeboards.
Like these…….
I’ve started collecting pictures of them of Flickr and, although there’s just these few there now, it’s already fascinating to see the different way communities use these facilities.
Some are very regulated, almost ‘official’, while in other places just about anything goes? Who decides? When does the community take ownership of the noticeboard? What makes for a successful shared resource?
All of these are questions the n0tice team are thinking about as we work on our digital version. What do you think?
Do you pass by a noticeboard which should be celebrated? Please feel free to share it at the Flickr group and tell us where it is and why you value it.

Here at n0tice we’re doing some research into sharing sites and apps, those places UK and elsewhere where people are coming together to share stuff – whether that’s an oversupply of allotment veg or a review of a favourite bar.
You can see the list here; Spreadsheet of sharing sites
In fact if you count up all those services on the Facebook group that came forward, there’s even more than 20.
And of course there’s plenty of room for more – feel free to add to the spreadsheet or let us know in the comments below about your sharing experiences.
Thanks for your help and interest – have a great weekend!
