Mitch- Love it! So glad you're taking on Link Love. Fun to see the Frank Lloyd Wright sketches on a Plaza Hotel napkin :)
Wow. I am loving it. Link love is really awesome.
Btw Mitch which platform are you using to display your video ?
I just love the way you have displayed every thing. :)
Thank you
Alex
Hi Alex, Glad that you like Link Love. To display video I am using the embedded code of wherever the video may be posted, be it YouTube or Vimeo, etc.
Hi Mitch,
I am also liking link love. I have also met Photographer Shawn Colver and seriously he is one of the best person in the world. He has fame and every thing but still he is down to earth. But I did not get the point that how did he got the pictures of 1920 Earth quake ?
One more thing, You said that you are using embed code but when i do embed code of videos on my blog but it shows simple video. I guess Alex wants to ask about the buttons on the video love, talk and share. Can you please tell me how did you get those buttons there ?
Thank you
Saif
Hi Saif,
I am glad you like Link Love. Your questions about where Shawn Colver got the pics from the 1906 earthquake would be best directed his way. He can be contacted through his website. As for the video, it comes from Columbia University, so if you have more questions about it you may contact them.
Best,
Mitch
I really enjoyed the Timeline of a Photograph. Very cool idea. I think I'm going to give a little link love and share that one with my photography blog readers as well.
