Audio version of Posts

There are short-posts, long-posts, and really very long-posts. So how about making your posts into their Audio-Versions so that your reader now becomes your listener, and can continue to do his work while listening to your post. I thought its a pretty good idea and I have implimented it too, after seeing it in action in at Viveks's blog

Are you wondering what I am talking about here? well.. do you see that the at the bottom of each post, go ahead, CLICK - OPEN.. this will open my posts in Audio format.

HOW TO ADD THE AUDIO VERSION TO YOUR POSTS

Vivek has given a detailed tutorial here

1. Register with Talkr


2. Make sure that your SETTINGS - SITE FEED - ALLOW BLOG FEED is set to FULL.


3. Type the url (eg www.yourblog.com)at ADD RSS FEED.


4. You are allowed to add multiple feeds. Notice that each feeds have unique Talkr feed id


5. Clik on "Add Audio link for each entry" link


6. Donot fail to test the feeds as per the instructions given


7. Once your test feed works up to your satisfaction, then only proceed further. Belive me.. I had enough and more problems for overlooking the test.


8. If you are using blogger beta you might want to know the TEMPLATE VARIABLE FOR PERMALINK inorder to make the audio feed work in the posts.Thanks to Vivek for helping me through this.


9. This the code directly from my template.
   

   <a expr:href='"http://www.talkr.com/app/fetch.app?feed_id=22092&;perma_link=" + data:post.url' target='_blank' title='Listen to this Article'> <img src='http://h1.ripway.com/Deepa/audio_1.ico' style='border:none;'/></a>


UPDATE

Please use the html code given in this image..write it word-by-word ..
The ampersand required for the code is interpreted and written as &

10. just replace the feed_id= 22092 with your feed id number from Talkr.

WHERE TO ADD THE LISTEN TO THIS POST LINK
Technically you can add the above HTML code anywhere. But I feel its only natural to add it near the comments /QuickEdit links

1. SAVE YOUR TEMPLATE BEFORE PROCEEDING


2. Look for <b:include data='post' name='postQuickEdit'/>


3. Add the Talkr code immediatly below.


4. Save the Template.


5. Your posts are now ready to be heard
