A word about Reblog
Posted by jure, under blogging experience on July 30th, 2008
The core idea of Zemanta is to make blogging easier. While we try to do this by working on our contextual suggestions, we often notice unexplored area where bloggers are asking for someone to fill them, and make their blogging experience.
Reblog is one such byproducts. The core idea is that giving a correct and fair attribution to other blogs, while quoting a bit from them, is hard. It requires copying piece of text, styling it differently, giving a nice back-link with possibly name of author and blog, additionally expanding it with published date.
When you use Zemanta, we add a little button at the bottom of the posts, saying Reblog, this allows anyone to click on it to get a nice citing interface:
Reblog button
Initial Reblog quote selection
Preview and publish to your blog
In the last step you can then preview the final post and publish it to your blog. If you don’t feel like this is the end or would rather just copy and paste the text, we also give your raw HTML version of the blog post.
To enable others to easily quote you with proper attribution, just Get Zemanta, and that’s it.
