Apture – A Great Free Blog Tool

Apture is a great tool for embedding stuff on your blog. It can be used for images, video, files, web pages and lots more. I use it to embed just about everything on this site. It is extremely easy to use – absolutely no coding required and even better it is free.

Other advantages include no advertising and complete control over what does and doesn’t get embedded.
