Spotify

Published on 11 April 2012 at 4:25 pm in Australia, Culture, Music and Personal. Tags: Spotify, Wordpress.

I recently started playing with Spotify. It seems good. I’m particularly for them to start up in Australia so I can leach off my far-more-musical-than-I-am friends over there.

Anyway, I read today that they’ve introduced the Spotify Play Button: a means of embedding links to Spotify-hosted music in blogs. I figured I’d give it a try, so here we go:

Actually, that’s still annoyingly complicated. I shouldn’t have copy the Spotify URI, go to their website, paste in the Spotify URI, copy the iframe code and then paste it in the HTML view of a blog post. But no doubt somebody will write a WordPress plugin to use this more sensibly.

Update: It looks like the embedded thingy still insists on opening the Spotify desktop app. That’s also annoying.

Upgrades, upgrades

The world keeps on changing under my feet. I’ve done a few upgrades on the site — my apologies in advance if anything seems (let alone is!) broken.

Meta and trumpet-blowing

I’ve just upgraded to version 2.8 of WordPress. Hopefully it will improve the speed of the site.

Also, a search on google for “fiscal multiplier” puts me at number two at the moment. I have no idea why.

Integrating with Twitter

Published on 12 March 2009 at 7:03 pm in Meta and Personal. Tags: Twitter, Wordpress.

I’m not really sure about Twitter. I don’t really see the point. I guess the mobile-phone integration is a step forward, but still …

Anyway, I’ve just installed Twitter Tools so that my Twitter account will get an update when I post a new entry here on my blog.

New feature: I’m now printer-friendly!

Published on 18 February 2009 at 1:40 am in Meta. Tags: Printing, Wordpress, WP-Print.

By popular demand (well, one person asked me), I’ve installed WP-Print – a WordPress plugin that will allow you, valued readers, to see a printer-friendly version of any post or page on this blog.

Every post and page now has a link at the top that takes you to the printer-friendly version of that post or page. If you live-and-die by the URI bar, it’s the usual address with “/print/” at the end.

Let me know if you have any problems.
