We are happy to share with you some good news, we have signed a partnership agreement with Automattic, the company behind the WordPress open source project and which runs WordPress.com.
What does it mean?
It means great news for the 7.5MM publishers using WordPress.com who just gained access to around 20 million premium, legal images and who can now search for and embed PicApp images into their blog posts.
It means a user community that grew and became even stronger.
It means another important milestone for PicApp in solidifying its position as the ultimate source for images online:
Images that cover any category you can think of- breaking news, sports, entertainment, travel, food, fashion, family and more.
Premium images from the most prestigious content partners.
Images that are licensed and legal to use.
Images that offer opportunities for blog readers to further interact and engage with blog content.
Images that come fully tagged to improve blog SEO.
We created this fun, cool video to illustrate the value images add to our blogs and sites, hope you’ll enjoy it.
And a warm welcoming to the 7.5MM publishers who are now part of the PicApp family.
We want to acknowledge and address the comments we’ve been receiving lately from our loyal bloggers who are using the Wordpress plugin.
The plugin was created for WordPress versions 2.7.x and therefore is not fully compatible with newer versions, which results in slower response time occasionally and errors in running image search queries.
We apologize for the inconvenience; we are working to complete a new version and hoping to update the plug-in with the new version by next week!
So bear with us until the update is ready to get the best images for your blog.
