#SilentSunday
I was watching this Golden-ringed Dragonfly as it caught onto a reed which bent under its weight.
Walk up Beinn Chaorach from Glen Fruin yesterday afternoon. Lots of wildflowers & ravens.
School finished for the summer in the pouring rain at 1pm today. By 5 O’clock the sun and a few butterflies were out, including this Meadow Brown. By the Kelvin near the vet school.

chat.openai.com apologizes
Me:
how could I display a list of links using the WordPress opml in the body of a page?
chat.openai.com:
[opml url=”URL_OF_OPML-FILE”]
Replace “URL_OF_OPML_FILE” with the actual URL you copied in the previous step.
For example:[opml url=”http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/links.opml”]
- Save or update the page.
- Preview or visit the page to see the list of links displayed.
WordPress will parse the OPML file and generate the necessary HTML to display the links.
Me:
Are you sure there is an opml shortcode? This didn’t work on my site
chat.openai.com:
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that there is no built-in OPML shortcode in WordPress. I apologize for the incorrect information provided.
What was intriguing was the total confidence for the reply and the immediate apology, did it check to see if I was correct? It then went on to offer a plugin suggestion…
Nice walk yesterday morning. Meadow Sweet starting to come out. 8 Ravens flying above edge of braes. Butterflies: Ringlet, Small heath, Meadow Brown. Lots of folk on the road, Braes quiet, quite wet in long grass.

Read: Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson ★★★★☆ 📚
1920’s London, mad night life, huge cast of unique and surprising characters tangled in a web of crime(s). Very funny, gets so complex there is a lot of tying up of loose ends in the last couple of chapters.
Lovely father’s day walk from Stronachlachar round the west end of Loch Katrine. warm day, but good breeze and not much in the way of hills made for pleasant stroll. lots to see. More photos.
