Upgrading our RSS feed. The Guardian (UK) is now offering full rss feeds: Second, advertising will soon appear within each full content feed item. Ads won't appear in the items which we display only as summaries. That was not so well received. Some commenters want summaries -- feeds as a way to know what's new, and to navigate to the site if something interests them. There's a call for choice.
It's a little geeky, but if you just plug in the minutes and seconds, you can ignore the rest of the code. Here's an example. This poetry reading comes with the comment, "Intro lasts one minute." Lets' skip that part, which is actually 59 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W0yJAvc0JA#t=59s How to: Play a video, and note the spot you want to begin playing -- the exact number of minutes and seconds. -- Copy the link to a video, such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W0yJAvc0JA t=2m12s (Think of it as an abbreviation for "time=? minutes ?seconds) If there are no minutes involved, as in my example, just leave that part out. |
