Unfare Zemata Test

Source: WikipediaIt made no sense to me that Zemanta wasn't working on my blogger editor. I went back in for a second look and saw my No Script icon along the status bar had its red circle with slash markings. Once I opened it and set it to allow, wham the Zemanta bar appeared to the right of the editor. SO far, it has photgraphs such as this: L7 encircled. I think it's an album cover.

The articles listed below the editor are all about Zemanta, not surprising. They are from funkykaraoke.blogspot.com, fourstars.com, blogherald.com, readwriteweb.com, techcrunch.com, tadejhq.com. The first listed link is one day old and the last is two days old. Recent stuff.

If I change the subject to something like Leo Laporte, Petaluma, Sonoma, Marin counties California or the Democratic primary coming up in one of the midwestern states and Pennsylvania. If I mention the New York Times or the Guardian.uk.co then all of the choices on the bar suddenly changed.

Ah, I just discovered that when you click on the gallery selection, it changes, not adds a photo. I first had the L7 thumbnail, then a photo of Leo and then a photo of this clocktower in Petaluma.

Zemanta is cute, but, I don't see much use for it the type of blogs we publish.

Zemata works wonderfuly in the Blogger editor environment. Most of the entries I make are with off-line editors such as Windows Live Writer or Scribefire. If an attachment was created for Live Writer, that I would use on a regular basis. As it is now, I go to the Wikimedia Commons for photgraphs to add interest to the blog entries. I will copy this over to getsatisfaction.com.
