In addition to private storage and direct, private sharing with others, Addie also lets you make any of you items public so that you can share a public link with others. That way, you have a direct link to any file, link, or note that you can share via email, Facebook, twitter, or on your blog.

Just make any item public and you'll be able to post to Facebook or get the link to share.

When you make an item public, the items can now be viewed by anyone that has the link. You can get the public link to share with others and you can use Addie to directly post your item to Facebook.

Addie has a growing collection of public items — these are particularly compelling public items that our users have shared. If you make an item public, if may or may not appear in our public collection, but it will always appear on your public page.

Any public item can be posted to Facebook. If you want to post a private item to Facebook, you will first need to make it public. When you post the item to Facebook, we'll put a post on your wall that links to the Addie page where your item lives.

If you'd like to share your item in other ways, you can simply share the public link anyone

You cannot share a link to a private item. In order to ensure we keep the privacy you need for all of your items, if an item is not public, you must add anyone you want to share with as a contact with an email address. This way we can make sure that only the person with email you provided will be able to see your item.

Just remember to share with contacts to share privately and to share with the whole world, make your item public.

Whenever you make an item public, you have the option to add the item to a public collection. A collection is a way to group your public items. A collection is a way to create a public album of photos, group of similar links, various thoughts on certain subject, or anything in between.

A public item can only appear in one collection and visitors to your public page will be able to see all your items or just view one of your collections.

For any public item, you have the option to embed that item on your website or blog. Every public item has a unique embed code that you can grab when viewing the item. Just click Embed to copy the code.

The code will look something like this:

<script src="http://addie.it/i/84/widget"></script>

Paste the code into the body area of your html file or blog post.

Whether the item is a file, link, or note, when you embed it on your website, visitors will be able to see the item, the number of likes, and any public comments. Addie users that are logged in will be able to like, comment, and download the item without ever leaving your page.

When viewing any public collection, you'll see an option to embed the collection. Just click Embed to copy the code.

The code will look something like this:

<script src="http://addie.it/i/collections/55/widget"></script>

Paste the code into the body area of your html file or blog post.

When you embed a collection, all the public items in the collection will be displayed. You can use a collection to feature an album of photos, set of links, or series of documents on your website.

When you update a collection, it will automatically be updated anywhere the collection is embedded.

You have complete control of how small or large your embedded item or collection is displayed. To change from our default size, simply add some more information to your code like so:

Item:

<script src="http://addie.it/i/84/widget?width=320&height=500"></script>

Collection:

<script src="http://addie.it/i/collection/55/widget?width=400&height=750"></script>

Using this format, just set the height and width (in pixels) for how large your item or collection should be displayed.
