I’ve been doing some work, this week, on my blog.  My attention has mainly focused around creating a custom skin for dasBlog, which has been surprisingly easy.  In addition, I’ve been trying to find useful tools that I can integrate into my blog to make it more useful for viewers.

Today I ran across Talkr — a FREE service that allows you to create a text-to-speech podcast from the text content of your blog, or provide links so readers can listen to an audio version of any article on your site.  I’ve decided to take the latter approach, since I’m not sure that anyone would subscribe to a podcast version of my blog (and I think it would confuse everyone else).

For entrepreneurial folks, you can even add advertising onto your audio blog (Talkr will share the revenue with you).  I decided to stay away from this (seems like more trouble than it’s worth for me).

So at the bottom of this article, you’ll find a link called “Listen”.  Do you think this is explicit enough to encourage people to try it, without adding a lot of clutter to my blog.  I’m thinking “Yes”, but if you have an opinion on the subject, please add a comment to this article!
