more typepad goodies…easy flare and pinging

June 22nd, 2006

typepad just integrated FeedBurner’s feedflare service so that publishers can add “flare” without needing to sign up for advanced templates and insert javascript in the right places…

now you can add your favorite little web services (or…“story tools”…email this, add to delicious, # of technorati links, creative commons license, etc.) by simply checking a box in typepad. of course, you need to go to FeedBurner.com to set up the flare (under the “optimize” tab).

ahh, adding sharing and community tools to feeds and websites has never been easier :)

here’s an example of flare in a feed - see the text links at the bottom of the post from readwriteweb -> “this item is from readwriteweb,” “email this,” “add to delicious,” etc…for a website example, see the bottom of this post on donloeb.com

to get the same experience on a website, you typically need to cut and paste a javascript into your template, etc…but, here’s how easy it is to enable in typepad:

and, as a bonus, if you’ve connected your typepad feed to feedburner, typepad will automatically ping feedburner, ensuring that your content is up-to-date. note: remember to allow typepad to “publicize your weblog” (i.,e say “yes”).

lastly, a special thanks to mr. sippey (sixapart)…
