Title: Delusions of Competence
Post by: Scattercat on March 12, 2010, 07:18:21 AM

Drabblecast #154 features one of the earlier Wisest Stone stories, and sometime soon another (mystery!) drabble from good old neglected Mirrorshards (now with its very own domain name!)

Still not paid, but the audience is an order of magnitude or three larger.  That's something, right?

Kewl. When Drabble lets the thing go for download, I'll grab it.

I've been downloading Drabblecasts as soon as they go up on the site by clicking on the "MP3 Feed" link at the top of the main page.  Or is that some breach of protocol that I shouldn't have just admitted to?

Well, it was an enjoyable little story.

I don't subscribe to feeds, and the MP3 feed button doesn't let me download.

So, I have to wait til Norm gets them in the archives. Takes a while.

Try this:

Click on "MP3 Feed" up at the top of the main page.  Then, on the MP3 Feed page, click on the icon that you see after "Subscribe:".  (Just below "A Feed of Plain Ol' Mp3s.")

Now you should be on a page with links that say "Play Now".  These links are to the individual episode mp3s.  Hope that works for you.

Four hits!  Yeah! 

(That's like a 20% traffic increase.)

It doesn't. The links don't do anything.

And, 20% is great! I'd buy that for a dollar!

I dunno.   Twenty-five cents per pageview seems a little steep for an ad.

Huh.  I'm stumped, then.
