Do you happen to be in a hurry and need to publish your post in matter of minutes? Taking some images to improve your post might be exhausting and time consuming, but with the help of zemanta, adding pictures to your post has never been this easy.


Zemanta is an add-on for firefox that modifies your interface when posting in your blogging platform e.g. Blogger, Wordpress, MovableType, etc. The modification includes (for blogger) a new toolbar at the right side of the post editor, and some recommendations for images, links, and labels.

Download Zemanta for Firefox!

Download Zemanta for Internet Explorer!

Here are some advantages and disadvantages on using this add-on for your blogging.

Advantages

• Provides you with links, labels and images that may dramatically boost your page rank and the quality of your post.

• Instantly gives proper credits to the source of the image you use.

• Compatible with the popular blogging platforms.

• It is also compatible for firefox and internet explorer.

• Also provides an easy image search besides from recommending images for your post.

• It can be disabled in times you don't need it. (firefox - tools >> Zemanta >> Uncheck "Enable Zemanta")

• HTML code can be converted into a clean xHTML code by going to preferences. (Under "HTML Code Style")

Disadvantages

• For those who happen to like to keep the coding of their post clean, adding a photo would cause a big block of messy codes.

• Loading the post editor might take some more time than not having the add-on.

• Some links at the bottom right (Updates) might be interfering.

• Image inserted via Zemanta took me some hard time positioning.


The add-on might have some flaws, but I reccomend you trying Zemanta by downloading it for your firefox or internet explorer.
