Apture makes having a Wordpress Blog a done deal.

Below is a review of a great plugin (Apture) to have in order to help keep visitors at your site. It has been updated several times and I wanted to let you know about the bar that is part of the plugin. If you want to show the bar on your site you can choose to do so in the back office.  When someone scrolls down on a page the bar will come up at the top of the page.

The bar allows your visitors to search right at your site and the information will pop up in a new small window. They can like you information to Facebook and Twitter your information to their Twitter friends. They never have to leave your site to search for other information. Very Cool.

A plugin called Apture is making blogging so much more interesting and helpful. This article will give you some examples of what you can do with it in order to give your reader a great experience and a lot of information in one place, your blog.

To get started, I will use my name,  Richard Mathiason , as the first link that I create. Now, you will see that this does not look like a regular link because it has an icon next to it. What apture has allowed me to do is link 4 different items (2 videos, a twitter page and a picture to this link. You can actually link up to 7 items in one link. The thing that is really cool about this plugin is that the information stays at your blog and the person looking at it will not be taken away from your blog. They will still get the information.

It gets better. Let’s say that I want to talk about the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Reserve This is a beautiful National Wildlife Reserve south of where we live in New Mexico. You will see that I was able to add 7 different items to that link. I even have an Amazon Product in the mix which allows you to monetize the content. You will see that I have a mix of videos, a map, wikipedia information and more. This really gives your viewer great information all in one place.

Is your mind spinning as to how you can use this plugin on your WordPress Blog. The uses are endless and will get better as more people use it.

I will use one more example.  Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. In this example I was able to add a video that I created, a calendar that I created, wikipedia information, a map. Very cool!

I trust that you have enjoyed the tour of using the Apture plugin. I have not even scratched the surface of the uses for this plugin but it should get you on your way. Have fun creating interesting posts and pages.
