All posts in Blogs

Website Tonight has three privacy settings for galleries; Public, Private, and Password Protected. Every photo from every gallery can be shared with your blog regardless of the privacy setting. However, the privacy setting will determine who can see the picture.

• Public allows anyone and everyone to see the pictures online.
• Private blocks everyone. The pictures will only be viewable to you while you’re logged in to Website Tonight.
• Password Protected blocks anyone that does not have a correct password. That means that you can share images in Password Protected galleries with your blog, but when someone visits your blog and clicks on a password-protected photo they will be asked for a password. If you have not given them a password then they will not be able to see the image.

Did you know you can blog photos from your Website Tonight account? And, you’re not limited to just one blog; you can add multiple blogs to your Blog Photo List, so with just a few clicks you can send (aka. blog, post, add as a new entry, etc) a photo from Website Tonight to any of your blogs.

This feature does work with Quick Blogcast, but it also works with any blog that supports the MetaWeblog API and RSD. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know what that means. If you are able to add your blog to the list of websites you can share photos with (instructions below) then your blog does support the MetaWeblog API and RSD. If your blog does not support the MetaWeblog API and RSD then you will see an error notification when you click Send a test post.
