Last week, we introduced support forOAuth2 and launched develop.wordpress.com, as we’reeager to empower the developer community to extend WordPress.com in new and meaningful ways.
Today, we’re excited toannounce the availability of our newoEmbed Provider API, yet another way to make it easy for third-party services and their respective audiences to share and consume content.
oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third-party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.
The API supports any WordPress.com URL, any WordPress.com-hosted domain or subdomain (EG: http://techcrunch.com/, http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/) as well asWP.me shortlinkspointing to WordPress.com-hosted sites.
Hop over todevelop.wordpress.comand see theoEmbed ProviderAPIdocumentationfor more information. Keep impressing the world with innovative ways to use the wonderful breadth of content created by our millions of talented bloggers!
When we think about the very basic fundamentals of blogging and expressing ideas we find the clear practice of writing. Today we are launching a new theme which tries to reflect precisely on that. Manifest is a wonderful theme for writers.
This is a theme that presents your creations in an elegant and powerfully clean way, offering your readers an intimate and direct experience with your thoughts.
With content being the clear focus in Manifest, you can create different types of posts by choosing appropriate post formats. You can create image posts, link posts, asides, and Manifest will present them in the same neat, clutter free way it shows your regular text posts. You can even add a subtle header image to bring a personal touch to the design.
The Manifest Theme was designed by Jim Barraud. Go and learn more about it on the theme showcase, or activate it right away at Appearance → Themes. And once you are done, just start posting.
