Clinton County Motorsports, Wilmington, OH

Not many motorcycle dealerships are like this one. Clinton County Motorsports is one big family consisting of staff and customers. Inviting. Friendly. A place you like to visit and hang out for a while. And oh yeah, maybe buy a motorcycle, parts or accessories.

The technology of sharing just amazes me, and it seems like there is so much more to sort through to make the content better and easier for you to read. Well, here’s a new one that works just perfect … almost.

Amazon has developed a plugin for WordPress users that allows creators to share the content of a post or page to a reader’s Kindle device or app. So, I thought I’d give it a whirl. This is how it looks at the bottom of my posts.

Share-buttons

When you click on the “Send to Kindle” share button, a pop up window will appear that asks you to sign into your Amazon Kindle account, and which device you want to send it to. It’s that easy. Open your device and sync your Kindle application and the post will appear. You will have the option of archiving in your Kindle Library.

Each share is for that one item only. The plugin will not start sending you all the posts. That’s a nice feature and may just save the blogger from losing readers. Secondly, RSS Feeds and e-mail subscriptions are better suited for delivering all the posts.

I have tested this with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0, and it works perfectly … almost. Articles are reproduced with very crisp pages complete with photos. However, You Tube videos do not display, nor do audio/podcast files. Links are embedded to take you to the web sites that will play that content. I tested the “Send to Kindle” with my Samsung Galaxy phone with the same results.

For articles with photos, it works very well. For other media content from the likes of Google … well … it must be an Amazon Kindle vs. the rest of the world thing.

Want to test it? Click on the Send to Kindle button below. Tell me what you think.

Thanks for following and reading.

Subscription changes for the RSS Feed

March 18, 2013 Notes to Readers

What the heck is an RSS Feed? Well, that’s the feature of all blogs that pushes content to your computer. It is anonymous, and totally in your control to subscribe or unsubscribe. You can even have the RSS Feed delivered by e-mail if you use the Feedburner option. That is sound and secure, but not [...]

2013 International Motorcycle Show–Indianapolis

February 18, 2013 Destination

It’s a first. The International Motorcycle Show came to Indianapolis with it’s big sponsor Progressive Insurance. It used to be Cycle World, but somewhere along the way, sponsors changed. Anyway, I wanted to write a short report—perspective from an attendee. Originally, the show was to be at the Lucas Oil Stadium, but the venue was [...]

Will U Marry Me?

February 8, 2013 Notes to Readers

A small pickup truck stopped on the county road behind my house like it was waiting for traffic—a little odd, but not completely rare. It demanded a little inquiry. Across the road, a compact SUV was stopped on the edge of the road with his flashers on. There is not much of a shoulder there [...]
