Embedding is here! Visualizations everywhere
Ever wondered whether you can take those lovely Silk graphs and maps elsewhere? Then we have good news! From now on, you can embed any Silk visualization on your site or blog. Jump straight to our embedding tutorial for a step by step guide, or check out the examples below.
You can embed visualizations for many reasons. For instance, you could include a map of nice coffee places on your blog about local hotspots:

You can adjust and filter the visualization on the Silk site before embedding it on your site. If you want to write a blogpost about cheap 3D printers, you can use an adjusted graph from the 3D Printers Silk site, for example. Here is an adjusted graph showing only 3D printers that are less than $1,000:

To embed a visualization, click on the 'embed' button on a visualization on a Silk site, and paste the code in your blogpost or on your website. Be sure to check out the embedding tutorial, which covers every aspect of embedding in detail.
The embedded visualizations are loaded directly from the Silk site, so they are always up to date. So if you or another owner updates a Silk site with new information, it will be immediately reflected in the visualizations on your blog.
A lot of our users have asked for this feature, so we are pretty excited about this. We are stoked to see how people will use the embedded visualizations. There are so many possibilities that it's hard to predict what cool things will come out of it. We'll be sure to cover the best applications on our blog!
