For many people, blogging or podcasting is a part of their daily lives. But there are other people too who don’t get into blogging seriously but want to write something off and on. Now you can also blog with just your Twitter account. No sign ups required and all that’s needed are your Twitter credentials. Write4net makes that possible.
The interface of write4net is really very simple but what the site offers is really unique and amazing. You won’t find a full fledged editor as in standard blogging Platforms but you can write your article easily. Just give your post a title and begin writing in the body section. Another text area called the Hashtag lets you enter a keyword or tag for your post for making it easy for others to find. You can enter any number of characters in your post, there are no bounds. What’s more cool is that it also allows you to add photos and videos to your blog posts.
To insert a picture, first you’ll need to upload it and you’ll see a thumbnail of the picture. To insert it into your post, you’ll need to enter the name of the image file within []. Like if you want to insert a picture with a name google.jpg, first upload it and within your post write [google.jpg] to insert it. To insert a video from Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion etc., insert the video URL within []. Well here’s a full set of syntax for formatting and adding elements to your post.
