Creating Great Content Should Be Easy. Why? Because Olanola strives to do all the rest of the work of marketing and promting your content, creating a community to engage with your content and creating new channelsl for you to engage with and share with other content creators. Today, I'll be looking at creating a new post with social embedding.
For this post, we are goint to specifically look at profiling Rihanna's rise to fame.
But first, its important to know how to get the URL for the embeddable social media content. Most users have seen tweets embedded into posts, so for Twitter, its easy to find the link need for embedding. Skip over to your favorite Twitter feed and click the timestamp to get the URL you need.
Click on that timestamp, in this case I clicked Rihanna's post from October 17 2010. It should open up to a new page with a pretty large tweet by itself. What you need is to copy the URL.
TWITTER EMBED
The Olanola system is pretty great, so as long as you turn the URL into a hyperlink, it will embed. This is important because other systems might require the full embed widget. This is the Olanola advantage. For example, below is the actual embedded Tweet. All I've done is past the Tweet URL and turned it into a hyperlink to the same URL. Voila, a simple full embed.
This is what the embed looks like in my visual editor. Note that its just a link, but when you read the post as normal the above link looks like an embedded tweet.
FACEBOOK EMBED
You can create a Facebook Embed just about the same way as the Twitter Embed. Even better, Facebook follows the traditional norm of allowing you to click on the timestamp to see the full post. See the example below.

VINE EMBED
Sticking to the trend, just click on the Timestamp of your preferred vine to embed and add it as a link. Easy like Sunday morning.
Google Plus Embed
Google makes it just as easy to embed as the other more popular channels. Again, click the timestamp, get the link, paste the link. One thing to note however is that Google's personalized URLs do not work for custom embedding. Its safer to get the longer URL than the custom one. For example, the below Google Plus Embed has the custom URL of . While that will work in your browser, the one that works in Olanola will have a long string of numbers where +Rihanna is.
INSTAGRAM EMBED
Partially due to Rihanna's love hate relationship with Instagram and her recent ban on account of the Lui Magazine pictures, we can't seem to find Rihanna's Instagram account. Instead, we chose an imagine froma small fan site @rihannanavyjamaica. For instagram, there is no need to click a Timestamp ( this feature doesn't work ). Instead, just click any of the image on a profile page and copy the URL to embed it.
