Google Chrome Apps For A Better Blogging Experience

In this post, I will be dealing with applications (or plugins) you can use in your Google Chrome web browser to make your blogging experience better. I happened to use these plugins and found them very useful. To get an idea about all the available applications, you may visit “Google Chrome Webstore”.

To install any of those apps, you are required to log in using your Google credentials Gmail login details). To manage these apps after installing, type chrome://extensions in the address bar of your Google Chrome browser. Just click on the title of each addon to access it.

1. BlogThis

If you are a Blogger user like me, you will find this app useful in blogging about interesting articles you find online. It is equivalent to clicking the “Link This” feature on a blogger page. After installing this app, all you have to do is click on the BlogThis button on your browser to open a new Blogger window with the links populated for you. Posting an article on your blog is only a few button clicks away!

2. TinEye

Most of us know how important it is to have relevant pictures along with blog posts. It increases the average visit time of your blog because pictures have the power to attract and retain interest among readers. We often search and find relevant images in Google, but fail to obtain higher-resolution pictures. We also do not acknowledge the actual creators of the image, as we fail to identify its real source. TinEye does reverse image search to help you exactly where you need. Right-click on an image to use it, and you will love it. This is also available for Mozilla Firefox.
