I wonder if you can add a "Readability Button" (instead of Print button) to your site, so that if people wants a nicely formatted version to read they can just click a button.
Should be easy? I have to look in to it.
- petercooper 17y agoShould be easy? A bookmarklet is just a JavaScript link that you bookmark instead of click. You could copy and paste the bookmarklet's contents into a regular A tag on a Web page and it should work fine.
- pavs 17y agoThanks just did it. Very simple. Also will be hosting the JavaScript locally, editing the twitter account to link my twitter account instead of Arc90, but will keep the logo and link back to Arc90.
- colonelxc 17y agoOverall, I think it's a good idea, but presents a bit of a paradox. If you're someone who cares about the readability of your site, you'd probably already have a pretty easily read site/font/layout.
- pavs 17y agoGood point. At one hand I would like to keep ads on my site to help me run my blog and i want to keep the current formatting of the blog, which though not very cluttered but can be distracting (as a voracious online reader I can empathize with other readers.) On the other hand I want to give the readers the option to choose a simple view while reading. Print View is ok but it doesn't do a nice formatting (unless you customize it). Since my ads are CPM based, it doesn't matter to me whether the reader reads them with readability or not, as long as the page is loaded once. I want to give them the option of having a simple, less painful to eyes, view. If the reader is already a readability user, they would still be one click away from having a better view.
