Sharing timeline?!?
How can I share my timeline with users who do not have accounts? (nor a yahoo, gmail, aol, or hotmail email account)?

Hi Asmarkowitz,
Yes, Dipity can be embedded in to most publishing platforms like blogs, wikis and social networks that support iframes.
To embed a given timeline, click the 'Embed Widget' button in the upper right-hand corner of the timeline. This should display an 'Embed Builder' which gives you some options for what you want to embed.
I’m confident

Hi Vicki,
Sharing a timeline can be accomplished in a number of ways. Any public timeline can be easily shared. First make sure your timeline is in fact public. You can do this by clicking on the 'Topic Settings' link under the title of the timeline and scrolling down to the permissions area. Once you've verified the settings you can share in the following ways:
Share Buttons: In the upper right-hand corner above the timeline are 5 large buttons (see attached image). Each one corresponds to a different service (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, StubleUpon and Digg). When you click each one you'll be taken to the corresponding service and you will have 'shared' the content.
Link Sharing: From your browser bar you can copy and paste the link to a given timeline (for example: http://www.dipity.com/AirandSpace/Apo...) and your friends will be able to access your timeline.

Thanks. This answers the question. A timeline must be public. Do you have any plans to allow restrictions, ie...I want to have a non-public timeline, but I want to invite only a few individuals to view it. -
Inappropriate?We've considered adding this feature and if more users request it is something we could add to the system. The hard part is rolling this feature out in a way that's not overly complicated.

Is it possible to embed a timeline as something other than a link share or social-network share? For example as a graphic on a WordPress site?
Thanks,

Here's an example of an embedded timeline on a site: http://supremecourt.c-span.org/Timeli...

Thanks Derek. One more question: I notice on that CSPAN timeline there are times listed (11:00) on many of the entries. I sent a query yesterday to DIpity about that issue - I don't want these hour:minute stamps on the entries on a historical timeline I am doing. How do I turn them off?

This is 'supposed' to be working. You should be able to specify only the level of detail that you know / have (e.g. only Year, Year + Month, Year + Month + Day...). It appears that this feature is currently broken and has been placed in to the queue of 'things to be fixed'.
