Great! I'm looking forward to the new capabilities. – Nilsie, on September 08, 2008 16:43

I agree. We're looking into this. We'll start first with ability to add more images to the post (release next week) and then work from there.

Don't tell others about it, but you might be getting that pretty soon :)

Nilsie replied on September 06, 2008 00:18 to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

I'm thinking more the ability to "dump" pictures I don't want for that post. And the ability to specify which keywords to use would be even awesomer.

Andraz Tori replied on September 06, 2008 00:11 to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

Well we already delivered on initial issue - there were 9 images, now there are 24.

Nilsie: how much more did you have in mind?

Nilsie replied on September 06, 2008 00:03 to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

This would be great for me as well.

Additional comments on this. a) I'd like to be able to add (or have you add) a Creative Commons license link, as appropriate, and b) I'd like to be able to host the image myself once it's found, so I'm not using Wikipedia's or Flickr's bandwidth.

With a new release and improved code we doubled the amount of suggested images. Give it a try and tell us if it's enough now.

Lar...
I totally endorse that ...

I want to say thanks for giving users the gallery... now you can scroll through multiple sets of 9 images... the older ones no longer get removed as more get added. That's nifty.

I really like your ideas and we are thinking about possible implementations. I do have to be honest that they do present some challenges for us so I can't really say if or when they will appear.

I do hope it won't take too long.

Re:put the pic where I have my cursor in the blogger post draft instead of at the top

Yes exactly !

Thx for the trick, I'm under wordpress.com but I think it could work. Btw I won't take time to do this ...

Lar replied on May 26, 2008 13:23 to the idea "Could more photos be made available in the gallery?" in Zemanta:

Ray, it is doable but it takes some hacking... what I do in Blogger is start another post, get the picture I want there, and then paste the entire text of that post (or go to HTML format and take that text) into my original post. It's fiddly but it works. I would like something where I can say "put the pic where I have my cursor in the blogger post draft instead of at the top" instead.

Ray Dacteur replied on May 25, 2008 18:01 to the idea "Could more photos be made available in the gallery?" in Zemanta:

I'd really like to have more than one picture added in my posts.

Note also that you can turn it off either for a page, or for the browser, without uninstalling it...

Likely a scroll function with 20 or 30 more photos to call up. We can't expect software to figure out good pics for us. Likely the descriptions arn't good enough.

Jure Cuhalev replied on May 04, 2008 12:36 to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

Ok, we'll figure out something.

We probably need three things:
- manual commons image selection
- manual flickr image selection
- manual keyword entry for subsequent zemanta search

While this is more manual stuff that we'd like, it seems like a good fallback when our magical matching doesn't work perfectly.

I'll draw a few wireframes for this and see how fast we can put this into production. No timelines yet thou.

A comment on the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

We can always find a better service, if your too busy. I'd pay for a service that did the job right. With features such as pre-approve and automatic posting, tagging, and other valuable features. Zemanta is currently holding my business back. – SkyWriting, on May 04, 2008 12:32
