Apture: Finally Closing The Multimedia Gap In WordPress

WordPress has had a small hole in its soul I liked to call “the multimedia gap”. It always struck me as odd that such a powerful blogging platform had not yet completely satisfied the needs of a web 2.0 audience. That is, until I stumbled upon the Apture plugin. Not only does it make embedding videos into WordPress ridiculously easy:

But it also makes linking to images with creative commons licenses a snap:

All within the WordPress wysiwyg. Now moving beyond just regular embeds …. Apture takes hyperlinking to the next level as well. You can now easily link to Twitter accounts (Magicomm), wiki pages (Social Media), and more without sending your readers elsewhere.

So go and Download this plugin as soon as possible and start bringing some rich media to your readers.
