I looked briefly at 60dB when it was announced, and came to much the same conclusion, that while it is an interesting idea and may end up being a sort of personalised stream of short-form audio, it didn't seem to address discovery in the long tail. I've enough long-form to be getting on with, that's for sure, and that's what I, personally, would like more of.
@AgroBioDiverse I can find you recipe plans. Basically, brown rice and some fruit and veg, with bits and bobs of other stuff.
@ThatAliceCooks A word to the wise; don't pour all into the pan at once! As I know YOU know. But you never know who doesn't know.
@_dgoldsmith Thanks Daniel. I will write up a more detailed account, and try to remember to link to it from here.
@Dr_RJByrne I'm sure it isn't easy, but it could be done.
@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.
