@Dr_RJByrne There's a global shortage of opiates; why not give the farmers a real chance at higher incomes?

Took a long while, working out how best to format and then doing it by hand, but I am now reasonably happy with the look of the noters and highlights brought home from Kindle. As a matter of styling, perhaps the Kindle location of the text could be less prominent, but that's probably gilding the lily.

What I've learned is that it probably pays to take more time when actually highlighting the text and writing the notes. But the clunky Kindle keyboard does one no favours. #indieweb

Well, it has been a long couple of days, but I have created pages to bring my reviews out of Goodreads and my highlights and notes out of Kindle. Still need to do a bit of styling; where there is a note attached to a highlight, it would be good to be able to have them side by side, as it were. Trouble is, the styling that Kindle delivers out of the box does not make that easy. #indieweb

I wasn't aware of the Limited Offensive Unit before, but I'm glad I am now. Very apt.

Spent a little while looking into embeds, as recommended, and it seems like it could be worthwhile. I tested the native embed, as it were, by tacking /embed onto a URL, and it is not very attractive. But customising the embed by using the other image and the audio will take a bit of work. I have found some useful resources for that, notably https://www.sitepoint.com/customizing-wordpress-oembed-content/ for the code needed.

Might also be worth implementing a different audio player on the site -- using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/pb-oembed-html5-audio-with-cache-support/ -- but still feeding it the blueberry version of the audio URL to maintain continuity of stats.

Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?

Later: well, it isn't by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

My apologies, Chris. I'm not familiar with the media player you are using on WordPress and so I did not realise that it was an embed rather than a download. That makes everything I said wrong, and everything you said right.

I'll look into oEmbeds, although I'm currently not sure exactly how I would make use of them.

Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.

Marty's summary -- it's hard -- is spot on. I do, however, feel that there's room for both a quick roundup of what's happening in the #indieweb, in the way that Marty has pioneered, and for something a little more discursive. I could easily record interviews with the protagonists over Skype or similar, if they are willing. And if I weren't so geographically isolated here in Rome, I could even try to get to some Indie Web Camps or HWCs and do on the spot recordings.

My feeling is that these kinds of podcasts could help people to embrace and adopt the indieweb. There could also be a role for Q&A type things in the longer podcasts.

Repurpose that incubator! Turning raw seasoned meat into sausages is both science and food.

Ooh. A new podcast to listen to, which also fits with my growing enthusiasm for #indieweb. And wouldn't it be fun, as @chrisalrich almost suggests, to make a podcast about indieweb. If there's space ...
