Zemanta Blogging Plugin Streamlines the Blogging Process
Posted by Nathania Johnson
Zemanta is a plugin that helps you find relevant material for your blog. Install the plugin (avail for IE and FF) and then login to your blog and bring up a compose page. You’ll see the Zemanta sidebar, ready to make suggestions for photos and articles to include in your post.
Zemanta works with:
Wordpress (including self-hosted wp)
Blogger
Typepad
LiveJournal
MovableType
As you can see in the screenshot below, the Zemanta sidebar takes up a large part of the sidebar. I personally don’t love this. Plus, I like to blog primarily from ScribeFire. But the plugin is only in alpha, so I’m sure we’ll see updates in the future….
Privacy Policy Plugin for Wordpress (Say That 10 Times Fast!)
Posted by Nathania Johnson
If you have a site that you’re monetizing, chances are that you need a privacy policy as part of your agreement with affiliate programs or other advertisers. Google is reminding Adsense users that a recent update to its service includes the requirement that sites, including blogs, have privacy policies.
Thanks to Eric Giguere, a plugin has been developed that creates one for you. It’s super easy to install and use. You can see the link to my new policy above in the navbar.

Quick News: Try Photodropper for a Flickr WP Plugin
Posted by Nathania Johnson
If you love using Flickr photos to complement your blog posts, then you’ll want to give Photodropper a try. It’s a new Wordpress plugin, and while some are experiencing bugs, the developer is working on them. For many, it’s working great.
It basically allows you to search for Flickr photos from the WP interface. Be sure to follow the Creative Commons license for a photo as usual, but the plugin opens a new window for photos you’re checking out.
Let me know what you think of this plugin.
