Embed our tools on your blog
A short note for educators, librarians, and writing-center teams who want Phrasit tools inside their own resource pages.
A writing resource page works best when the useful thing is right there. If a student is checking an essay length, building a citation, or estimating reading time, sending them to another tab can break the moment. That is why Phrasit includes lightweight embeds for tools that educators and librarians already link to.
The current embed set covers the word counter, character counter, citation generator, and reading-time estimator. They are built for LibGuides, course pages, writing-center handouts, and department blogs where a focused tool is more useful than another paragraph of instructions. They are also marked noindex, so the embedded surface supports the host page without creating duplicate search pages.
Where embeds fit
A good embed has a narrow job. A word counter belongs beside scholarship essay instructions. A character counter belongs beside social media or meta description guidance. A citation generator belongs on a referencing guide, but only when the page also explains the local academic-integrity policy. A reading-time estimator belongs near lesson planning, newsletter editing, or speech preparation resources.
The point is not to cover the page with widgets. The point is to remove one needless step in a workflow that already has enough friction. Students should still read the instructions. The embed simply lets them act on those instructions without hunting for a separate utility.
How to use one
Open the tool page, copy the iframe snippet from the embed area, and paste it into the page editor that accepts iframe HTML. On many LibGuides setups, that means using a media or embed block rather than a plain rich-text paragraph. Keep the width at 100 percent and choose a height that leaves the controls visible without trapping the page in a scroll box.
If your platform strips iframes, link to the normal tool page instead. The canonical tool pages remain the best fallback, and they are built to work without signup, accounts, or a paywall.
What we are building next
Phrasit already has a larger surface than the embed set: dozens of tools, citation pages for five styles and thirty source types, and guides for common student writing questions. The natural next step is more specific embeds, especially citation generator variants for individual source types. A library guide for APA web pages should not have to start at a generic citation screen if the local context is already clear.
For now, the easiest place to start is the word counter, character counter, citation generator, or reading level analyzer. Put the tool where the task happens, keep the surrounding guidance plain, and treat the embed as a practical support rather than a replacement for teaching.
