Add Intagme widget to display Instagram image on your Blogger and WordPress site
Instagram is widely used social networking platform all over
the world. There are huge users’ everyday sharing their personal memories and
daily activities with images. If you say what is the most popular social media
platform? Then I must say After Facebook, name of Instagram will peep in our
mind. And we can divert huge traffic from Instagram site in our Blog.
Unfortunately Instagram can be use from Smart device only.
You can Log into your account from PC but you won’t able to share anything from
PC or Laptop. However there are many website those who are using Instagram for
their site. And even their site visitors are not aware about this. It is not
possible to display Instagram image in our site directly. So we have to find
out an alternative way to show Instagram images on our Blog and website.
Fortunately I have found a third party site which is helping
us to display Instagram images as slideshow and Grid box. And easily we can integrate that widget in
our Blogger and WordPress site.
For your kind information this is not an official Instagram
widget but it use Instagram API for showing images through widget. This is
called Intagme, but this is not
endorsed or certified by Instagram.
Whatever, our main purpose is to display Instagram share
content’s images in our Blogger and WordPress site. I think below guidelines
will work best for you.
Step 1 Visit http://www.intagme.com/
and see a very easy going interface.
Step 2 All you
need to do configuring your Instagram widget after adding Instagram user name.
So quickly write your Instagram user name on username field. Alternatively you
can enter hashtag.
Step 3 And select
Widget Type, either Slideshow or
Grid. I think slideshow is pretty cool.
Step 4 In case of Grid type widget select Thumbnail size 120px and change Layout dimension
according to your need, e.g 2X3. And for slideshow select Thumbnail Size 300px. This dimension is perfect for landscape
type image.
Step 5 Why don’t
you make your Instagram widget little fancy by putting a Photo Border around
the widget? In Photo Border option select
Yes.
Step 6 Selecting
custom background color is a Good feature of this widget. Because you will get
the opportunity to use any color that match with your template.
Step 7 Sharing Button!!!
Yes I just love it. When you mouse over on Instagram widget’s images then
sharing option will visible. It can make your image more shareable on Facebook,
Twitter and Google Plus social media sites. And good chances to boost up your
followers on Instagram.
Step 8 Finally

the Get Code button for adding the widget in your Blogger or WordPress site.

I think you are going to love this widget and tailor your
Blog’s sidebar with pretty cool slideshow or grid box. But sharing Blog content
on Instagram is not easy, because without Smartphone and tab you won’t able to
share your Blog content. But I have shared my Blog content on Instagram by
tapping my Android phone. It’s pretty annoying, Lol. And shared link won’t be
clickable.
Many Blogger share their personal photo but if you are
running your Instagram profile by your Blog name then you should share your
Blog content along with funny moment of your daily life.
Let me know how you have tailored your Instagram profile?
