Revising the sharing buttons

Previous year I added sharing buttons to the end of each post so one could easily share a post with others. These buttons were looking like this

But I felt it was time for some changes. I wanted to have these share buttons take up less space and also wanted to add additional sharing options (Pocket, email and printing). After some tinkering with HTML, CSS and Font Awesome

Embedding Instagram Posts

Not so long ago I read a short conversation on twitter about embedding Instagram posts into posts on the Blot.im platform.

Workflow for uploading bookmarks to Blot

With the new feature of Blot to use OS X bookmarks to quickly post interesting sites to your own blog I already wrote how to use it on a platform other that a Mac.

Out-of-the-box Safari on iOS has no way to save a bookmark other than as a regular bookmark. Good thing iOS has a share sheet and Workflow app.

I built the following workflow using the Workflow app that enables you to save out a bookmark file to Dropbox. The workflow has been setup as a share sheet extension so anywhere you have the ability to share an URL this extension would work.
