Add Your Storify Items to Chicagotalks Automatically

You create your Storify.com curated item first in Storify. Remember to add your own words and don’t just sling together a string of Tweets. Then when you you login in and go to post a story, you will see the Storify icon among the writing tools.

Click the Storify icon, login to Storify, and then it’s simple to choose the item you want to submit to Chicagotalks.org.
