BBC Radio 'on air' Live Text Microsummaries
Using the Microsummaries
feature in Firefox 2.0, I've created 'Live Text' Microsummary Generators, to show you
what's on air on BBC Radio Stations.
Firefox 2.0 users can install these Microsummaries in 3 easy steps!
1. Click the Install Microsummary link you'd like from the table below.
2. Click on the Homepage link to visit the homepage of the Radio Station
3. Add the site to your Bookmarks, select the summary from the drop-down menu list in the Name column
Tip: Create your Bookmark in the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder for maximum visibility.
FAQ
Why isn't my Bookmark keeping up-to-date?
Firefox checks periodically for changes in the Summary, so to make sure you're getting the latest summary right click on the Bookmark and select Reload Live Text.
Why didn't you make a microsummary for my favourite station?
Sorry, there are only so many hours in the day and some stations i.e. BBC 7 don't offer this information on their homepage, feel free to make your own.
My Bookmark's stopped working, what's going on?
If you rename a Live Text bookmark, it will cease to be dynamically generated. Also, if the BBC changes the design of the sites the bookmarks will stop working since they won't be able to find the right text anymore. The best solution would be for the BBC to make their own microsummaries.
