Have you been capturing beautiful moments in your photographs or videos? Now you don't need to worry about purchasing a digital camera or video camera, as smart devices such as smartphones or tablet computers are capable of capturing and processing of still photographs and moving visual images. Hmm... Smartphones and photography. I wouldn't be surprised if you are murmuring "Instagram" right now. Aren't you?
Showcase Instagram Content
If you are on Instagram, you know how it works already. You need to have the Instagram application installed in your mobile device, and the moments you capture through it can be transformed into something wonderful and store in your account to share with your Instagram friends. But, what about showcasing your Instagram photos or videos to everyone, including non-Instagram users?
Simply, you can share corresponding links to your Instagram images or videos with everyone. HA... Instead, you wanna embed them on your blog or website?

Embed Photos / Videos
You almost know about embedding Instagram photos, as we already discussed about a third-party widget, capable of displaying your photos - SnapWidget. It allows you to display Instagram photos on your site, with different types of customization options. It was cool!
If you don't need different custom options and just looking for embedding your Instagram content, now you don't need any third party widgets at all. It's official! Now Instagram let you embed its content easily on your blog or website.
Let's start with a demonstration. Below you can find an embedded Instagram photo from a friend of mine. Don't you love how it renders?

Along with the image, it shows off my friend's Instagram profile and links back to it. So you don't need to worry about mentioning where it comes from. Further, visitors can hover over Instagram logo if they wish to view it on Instagram. At the bottom of embedded photo, you can find corresponding like and comment count too.
If you are curious about the safety of embedded Instagram images, the good news is, no one can download your embedded images. Yet, taking an screenshot of embedded image is possible though. I believe you are careful enough about what images you store in your Instagram account. Else you might be committing a mistake.
