Ziltag is a new, intuitive, and powerful tool for bloggers/editors. The plugin is now in open beta for all websites. You can get the exclusive plugin script by joining for free at ziltag.com.
As Ziltag’s tagline, “Turn Images into Conversation” suggests, it allows users to tag & write on anything inside images, boosting interaction and engagement between bloggers and their readers. Watch the intro video.
How Ziltag Works?
Ziltag follows very simple steps while it comes to installation. All you need to do is visit ziltag.com and join for free. Once you follow the steps and enter your website URL, Ziltag will generate a lean one-line script for you. Copy the script and paste in your HTML to install it. (If you are using WordPress, you can download the WordPress Plugin and read the guide.)
When installed, every image on your website will turn “taggable”, and you can easily add information to something specific appear in the image. For example, a food blogger can add recipes, chef bio, and product link; a craft blogger can add how-tos, material intro, and purchase link; a tech blogger can add tech news, codes, and gadget reviews, all on one image and share to readers. In short, no matter running which kind of blog/website, Ziltag’s users can enrich a single image with more than one story.
