Dr. M’s Storify Tips and Tricks

1. You can integrate outside content into Storify in three ways: a. Search within Storify using the search tool on the right panel of a draft

story. Click the different tabs (images, Google, twitter etc. for varied content)

b. Click on the “Embed URL” tab on the right panel of the search box in Storify (looks like a small chain link) and copy and paste the web address of a blog or web page (that you have open in another window or tab) into that text box. Click “enter” and that webpage link should pop up as an item you can then “drag and drop” into your Storify

c. Add a “bookmarklet” or chrome extension to your browser that allows you to easily clip content from the web and put it into Storify. Visit this Storify on how to easily use the bookmarklet: http://storify.com/storify/storify-new-bookmarklet Or, if you use the Google Chrome as your browser, you can add an extension to your browser easily here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/storify/oonhlodhpiagekajjhhfimf geagjnnop?hl=en After the plugin is installed, you can highlight tweets in Topsy, right-click, and use the “add this image, link, or selection to Storify” option. You must be signed in to Storify for this to work.

Within Storify, just above the search bar on the right panel, there is a “My Collection” button or link. Everything that you import using the bookmarklet or Chrome plug- in from outside sources will be stored here. You can then “drag and drop” them into your story.

You can use these methods to capture tweets, blogs, videos, news stories, and other content whether it is searchable within Storify or not. Chrome seems to support Storify functions better than Firefox or Windows Explorer, so for the purposes of this project, you may want to download Chrome or work on a computer with that browser available. I hope this makes your Storify user experience smoother!
