green news report

[click image]

I'm really enjoying Brad and Desi's Green News Report, and they've started making a player bloggers can embed. I had to fool with the code to get it to fit at the bottom of my sidebar, where it is right now, and where I hope to have it on a regular basis... once the kinks get worked out. But, until then, don't forget to look for it on Brad Blog. There's a new one every couple two or three days and it's flat out great. Desi puts up all the links for the stuff she covers, plus more that wasn't covered on the broadcast each time, too. Try it, you'll like it.

Alright well you got me wanting to do a test.
My test is here. (Yeah I had to muck with the padding a bit. from 15px on the top to 45px so it doesn't crash with my node dates)

http://sacxtra.com/mbs/node/361

I groked some helpful info from here
http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/

And analyzing the code obviously I found this...
http://www.bradblog.com/audio/greennews/

Replace the mp3 file path and URL story page for each link from here. (Given you want to do archived history)

I have an idea to completely improve this for us, so we don't have to UPDATE it on our end, if I could get in touch with Brad. If the object is to get the Green News Report out at as many sites as possible embeded...

Really all Brad and Desi have to do, is copy their "CURRENT" report to a file in the same directory called, "CURRENT.MP3" Then when they update their report, they simply overwrite the CURRENT.MP3 . As far as the link goes, all his page=xxxx thing's (?p=7121 for example could be changed in the embeded code to point to http://greennews.bradblog.com/ then the links aren't ever hosed.

(Make them do the work, not us.)

If you want to try to pass this idea off to Brad fine, otherwise I will try to get in touch later. You could simply cut and paste this info to him, he knows how to fix this--I guarantee it.

If I could get them to do it this way I could easily slap it into a block.

BOOOOOOOOO

The US government has opted to retain a Bush-era rule that limits protection for polar bears from the effects of global warming.

OBUMMER YOU SUCK!

Or fool with the code, but I couldn't get the background to switch to my background color no matter what, so I'm hoping they fix that so it doesn't turn into a blot on certain colored blogs....

I just posted the polar bear news.

I'm going to go puke now.

Women really are the other half of the sky.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
