Zemanta Adds to Your Blog

Zemanta adds links, pictures, related articles and tags to your blog posts. Just add the Firefox extension and you'll see an array of new features on your blog publishing tool.

You can embed images - usually from Wikipedia. Add related articles. Insert links to the most popular related pages for specific words and terms. Choose from suggested tags. Zemanta even knows when you are posting about a book and will suggest related Amazon links and book covers.

I've been using Zemanta mostly for my personal blogs when I want to spiff them up. But I occasionally use the features for some of my pro-blogging work. The images are not always relevant, but when they are, they can really add a nice touch to an otherwise text-only post.

By ALLEN SALKIN
Published: March 30, 2008

THIS is how it happens.

A guy starts a clever blog in January and calls it Stuff White People Like. The site contains a list of cultural totems, including gifted children, marathons and writers’ workshops, that a certain type of moneyed and liberal American might be expected to like.

“The No. 1 reason why white people like not having a TV,” reads the explanation under entry No. 28, Not Having a TV, “is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.”

Kenai Alaska or Bust

This really doesn't belong in the travel category - it is more of a "sold the business, moved to Alaska" kind of blog.

This is real life. This is blogging!
