Can I share my book with others or embed my book on a website or blog?

Absolutely! ZooBurst has a number of tools that you can use to share your books with people around the world Here's how to get started:

Sharing your books via E-mail

• Log into ZooBurst
• Click on the 'My Books' button at the top of the screen
• Click on the 'View' link next to any of your books
• Click on the 'Share' link below your book to open up the 'Share' panel.
• The Share panel contains a direct link to your book that can be used on your website, blog or social networking site.
• The Share panel also contains a "Send an E-mail" feature that lets you forward a copy of your book to anyone by typing in their e-mail address.
• As long as your book is set as "public" anyone in the world - regardless of whether they have a ZooBurst account - will be able to view your book. Password protected books can also be viewed by anyone in the world as long as they can supply the correct password. Private books can only be viewed by you when you are logged into the ZooBurst site.

Embedding your book on a website or blog

Like YouTube and other video-sharing sites, ZooBurst also lets you "embed" books on other websites or blogs. This can be a very useful feature for teachers who are using a class website or course management system as it allows you to provide your students with access to your ZooBurst books from one familiar place. Here's how to get started:

• Log into ZooBurst
• Click on the 'My Books' button at the top of the screen
• Click on the 'View' link next to any of your books
• Click on the 'Embed' link below your book to open up the 'Embed' panel.
• Select a book size from the list. Keep in mind that some blogging systems (like Blogger) create very "skinny" web pages, so you may want to choose a smaller size if you find that your book appears too large after it has been embedded.
• Copy the code that is displayed
• Next, open up your website or blog and go into your "edit mode" so that you can make changes to your pages.
• Paste in the code that you copied from ZooBurst. If your site has an "HTML" mode you will want to make sure to select that option -- otherwise you may be left with a bunch of unintelligible HTML on your site instead of your ZooBurst pop-up book!
• Google Sites users should follow these special directions on to embed their books:
  • Click on Insert -> More Gadgets
  • Featured -> Embed Gadget
  • Click on the Select button
  • Paste in the code in the window that appears. You may also want to adjust the width and height of your book on this screen to match what you copied and pasted from ZooBurst
  • Click OK
