IFTTT

I like that when I am on Instagram, I can also share on FaceBook and Tumblr by simply selecting one of those other services when I share (and I could share on Flicker and Twitter and Foursquare, but I don't have any use for sharing there.)  I wanted to put Blogger in that little open block on the bottom right so I could post my photos to my Blog at the same time:

I

That's when I discovered IFTTT, which stands for "If This, Then That," and is pronounced like "Gift," without the "G".

 In a few simple steps, I was able to create an IFTTT account, then link it to my other account.  Here I am linking it to my Tumbler Account, which is a public little blog where I post experimental and non-family stuff.

I also connected it to Instagram and Blogger.

Then I was able to connect my accounts using recipes.  In the first recipe, it defines "If I post to Blogger and put 'Tumblr' in the Label, the post will be copied to Tumblr.

The second recipe defines that if I post to Instagram and use the hashtag '#Blog', the photo will post to my Blogger blog.

It's very cool.  Every 15 minutes or so the service cycles, and copies posts and photos to their respective areas according to the rules.

There are some part of the recipe definition where you can customize the default choices.

And some of the defenitions get specific to the service.  For example, here are choices for posting to Tumbler.  They are the different types of Posts that you can start with for a new post on Tumblr,

I skimmed the privacy section and TOS, and I'm OK with those.  They reserve the right to charge for this in the future.  It's not stated, but I think IFTTT may charge services to include them in IFTTT.  Otherwise, I see no advertisements or sources of current income.

It sure solved a little irritation for me!

Post to try something

Flickr

I'm playing around with Flickr.  I think it might be nicer than Google as a photo archiving place.  Ignore this post while I play around with some features.  This one is a slideshow.  They are all the same show; I am just trying to find the best size for my blog.

Open a set.  Add "show" at the end of the url.  This is "small".



This is Medium.



This is Large.
