I’ve gone a little thinglink crazy over the past week or so but I’m finding some interesting ways to use the interactive photos.

So far, I’ve created one of my new house to learn about the site, another one that is an explainer about a local art show and this, my latest attempt, to use our front page to drive readership online.

It’s one of the more functional web tools that I’ve found in terms of news but I wish you could embed the photo on Facebook in a way that’s a little nicer format. Thoughts?

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted about my job and for good reason. I transferred and am now working as the community reporter (AKA do-it-all reporter) at the Longmont Times-Call. It’s been a blast so far so stay tuned for some more updates on my new job. For now, check out what I’ve been working on at my Facebook page.
