a) install plugins
b) use script tags or iframes
Most non wordpress sites support javascript and iframes
Sharing is the fuel that drives social media, but have you thought what sharing really looks like? What does it mean to share? I'm sure many of us think sharing simply refers to sharing URLs, but there's much more to sharing than content. There are many ways to share. Many perspectives.
Running a contest on your blog is a great idea, but it's not as easy as it seems. From a technology perspective it's certainly much easier than it used to be. I crowdsourced content ideas for my board game back in 2005 and it took some custom coding.

Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to limit the number of listing and put the rest on different pages (like a forum). Fist 10 entries on first page, the next 10 entries on second page and so on...
Take your list, eg
http://list.ly/list/70h-meme-creators
The essential part of the URL is just
This URL works too
(ie 70h is the unique ID for the list)
Every list has an RSS feed

A publisher key is required to use the Wordpress Listly plugin. Embedding Listly lists with the Wordpress plugin gives you SEO benefits compared to just using the Javascript code.
No, you don't need a publisher key to just use the Javascript code, but we still recommend that you get one. Having a publisher key has many benefits, including detailed analytics on all embeds tied to a publisher key.
When you are logged into listly and click on the embed link, we automatically customize the embed code with your publisher key. You don't need to do anything extra! We do the same if you use the Listly Wordpress plugin. Once you install the Listly Wordpress plugin and add your publisher key, we automatically track all your embeds for you.
Yes, we do. Take a look at this video.
