Doug talks about he power of pulling out old photos. I like the on this day bit of my phone’s phones and the ability to find out what I was doing a year(or years) ago. I’ve been finding my On This Day page on this blog fascinating and would highly recommend anyone to try it out. I don’t suppose having it public is necessary as it will only be of interest to me.
A few weeks ago, I bought a Google Assistant-powered smart display and put it in our kitchen in place of the DAB radio.
I like that feature- is it a plugin or John Johnston magic code?
Both 🙂 very simple plugin most of code borrowed from stackexchange. gist.github.com/troutcolor/ed3… I intended to extend to work with date from post or param at some point.
I find the results fascinating.
Ran into some problems, altering the query was sending output to the admin dashboard. Rolled up my sleeves and did my own iteration – see cogdogblog.com/this-day/
code gist.github.com/cogdog/64f9955…
Could add shortcode parameters for arbitrary day too
Cool. Wonder why the admin problem? I’ll compare and hopefully learn something.
Like the excerpt too. Wondering about calendar widget….
It might be Gutenberg generating a preview? The shortcode’s output also came above the page’s content, not in the space where the shortcode sat. Like it had altered the main query.
