This is episode 1 of the Waylon Walker Audio experience, posts from waylonwalker.com {.hoverlink} in audio form. So I have had this idea for awhile to add audio to my blog posts. The idea partly comes from the aws blog, if you have ever been on their blog you will have noticed that they have a voiced by amazon polly section. What to Expect Honestly I don’t know this is all new to me and I dont have much to go off of. For now its a test that may or may not work out. I will say that the time that I have available for clean audio is a bit limited so expect these to come out in batches as I get time to go back and record. What Not to Expect One thing that makes the aws blog really hard to listen to is the robotic voice, I definitely don’t want that. This will be voiced by a real human, Me. At the same time written text doesn’t translate directly to audio well so don’t necessarily expect the audio to be word for word. Code blocks There are a lot of code blocks in my blog, which don’t transl…

Inspired by discourse’s link expansion I am rolling out expansions for one line links on the blog waylonwalker. I was able to find a gatsby plugin gatsby-remark-embedder that expands one line links for social cards for popular platforms like twitter and YouTube through a repose from Kyle Mathews to my tweet. https://twitter.com/kylemathews/status/1329817928666005504 Use Cases This covers a couple of use cases I have with very little effort. Twitter YouTube install This was super quick and simple to setup, the only thing that was extra was to install the plugin as well as the. enable Thats it, now I can embed tweets and YouTube videos by just leaving the link on a single line.

I wanted a super simple way to cross-link blog posts that require as little effort as possible, yet still looks good in vanilla markdown in GitHub. I have been using a snippet that puts HTML into the markdown. While this works, it’s more manual/difficult for me does not look the best, and does not read well as Goals for new card The new card should be fully automated to expand with title, description, and cover image. Bonus if I am able to attach a comment behind it. fully automated card expansion Title description cover image Old Card If you can call it a card 🤣. This card was just an image wrapped in an anchor tag and a paragraph tag. I found this was the most consistent way to get an image narrower and centered in both GitHub and dev.to. The key here is that I have to put the HTML into the markdown. It looks a bit dirty while editing and quite frankly it’s a pain to deal with. New Card My first eight years as a working professional. First step My first attempt was to make my own tra…
