Google launches Web Stories for WordPress plugin and ‘Web Creators’ Community
Stories have exploded in popularity, providing a rich, full-screen, tap-driven experience that echoes just about every social media platform. Stories dazzle users with snappy, bite-size animations and interactive prompts that have quickly proven their ability and effectiveness in keeping users engaged. They have become more mainstream since introduced by Snapchat in 2013, and have been adopted by other major platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even LinkedIn. While social media stories are typically only available in closed formats — requiring you download a specific app and follow specific content creators to see — web stories are open, easily shareable and even appear on Google Images!
Within the plugin, users are greeted with a familiar, yet intuitive, WYSIWYG interface. Advanced customization tools provide users the ability to create and publish stunning content right within WordPress. The Web Stories to WordPress plugin offers users image editing capabilities including: image masking, gradient editing, saved colors & styles, and many more.
