The Belchanator! with bonus story on Storybird

Embeds are now available for all public Storybirds in two sizes: Regular (above) and Large. They work like YouTube, Vimeo, and other Flash-based embeds. Simply grab the code, drop it in your blog, and presto! Storybird magic.

The controls are simple: a retractable panel has forward/backward arrows and a toggle for full-screen. And if you don’t use the fwd/bwd arrows and just click on the story, it advances forward.

You’ll find the embed link above the cover, beside the sharing tools:

Here’s the embed page. Copy the code for the size you want:

Currently, Storybird embeds work on Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress.org (self-hosted), Tumblr, Ning, and most other platforms that accept standard HTML. They do not work on Wordpress.com blogs yet.

Oh—we also have goodies at the bottom of each embed page: badges!

Storybird_Badges

Badges link back to Storybird.com rather than a specific book page or profile. Stick ‘em on a sidebar or footer and spread the goodness like karmic peanut buttah.
