I’ve talked about Storify before — I think it’s a really great way to aggregate the stories being told around an event or topic.
But now, it’s even better, because there’s a brand new Storify plugin for WordPress!
With the plugin, you can either build a story on Storify.com or from the Storify tab on your WordPress menu.
There are a few dialogs to help you build your story:
And there’s even a bookmark you can add to your browser toolbar to easily add things into a story as you scan the Web:
And once you build the story, there’s an icon in your visual editor on WordPress that lets you easily drop the story in. Now, when I do it, the link drops in — not the embed code:

But I’m pretty sure it’s user error, so I’ve asked them for help. In the meantime, you can still embed using the code from the website OR from the embed button that appears once you publis a story via your Storify tab on the WordPress menu.
I think this is a great tool, especially for people who work in social media or marketing. It’s easy to control and edit the stories that people are telling about your brands!
