Click the [broadcast feed] button above your content feed grid. You copy the html code that is generated, and paste it into the social networking site's profile (myspace, hi5, friendster, etc) that you would like to broadcast to.

How do I broadcast a live feed of Glogger pictures, like the one below, into my homepage?

Follow these simple steps:

• Copy and paste the text below into your javascript enabled webpage. Remember to substitute YOURUSERNAME with your glogger username and also select the number of images you want to display in the variable numImages. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://glogger.eyetap.org/jsonScript/glogrollShow.js" src="http://glogger.eyetap.org/jsonScript/glogrollShow.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://glogger.eyetap.org/jsonScript/glogrollInfo.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&numImages=9"></script>
• By doing so, you can embed your glogger feed into any html (that allows javascript) page, here's some examples: James's Personal Webpage or iGargoyle blog

How do I make panoramic images with Video Orbits?

1) Using a Mobile Phone:

Mobile Glogger's Video Orbits function let's you take panoramic images with your camera phone like the image below.

• Click "Start Orbits"
• Pan or sweep the camera phone across the scene by rotating or orbiting about a point. The camera phone must not move from it's point, so do not walk or move the camera from it's point of rotation. Think of yourself as a "human tripod". You can simply do this by, placing the camera phone relatively closely to your head and allow the camera to follow where you are naturally looking.
• When you are done, click "Stop Orbits"
• Allow the server to take some time to composite your set of scene images together into a panorama.

2. Using a Camera and PC:

• Pan or sweep the camera across the scene by rotating or orbiting about a point. As you pan your camera, periodically snap photos. The camera phone must not move from it's point, so do not walk or move the camera from it's point of rotation. Think of yourself as a "human tripod". You can simply do this by standing still, placing the camera phone relatively closely to your head and allow the camera to follow where you are naturally looking. Remember to shut off any auto-gain, because varying brightness levels in your images will have a negative outcome from video orbits
• Once you are done, upload your sequence of images to the experimental upload page
• Click the submit button and you will have your consolidated image! Here is an example.
