Appeal from a dinosaur about how to read liveblog diaries and diaries made from liveblog diaries [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-11-04
I avoided reading the liveblog of the fraud trial the other day because I just can't seem to mentally digest the information in the order it appears in the diary.
Then this morning I saw what I thought might be a summarization of the days events in a top to bottom readable diary. But it was just a retitled, possibly extended version of the liveblog.
When I asked previously, some people said, “suck it_, that's how liveblogs work everywhere. Others said, it's not a problem at all. And some sympathized.
But it's too much for my old ossified brain.
So I appeal to the mob. Does anyone have a good postprocessing tool I can use to resort the diary contents in time posting order?
I've been here for 20+ years?
But I guess I just can't keep up with the sensibilities of the younger crowd.
I'm a programmer, but not a web programmer. Not sure if I have the energy to try to solve this myself.
Even just skipping any diary entitled, liveblog is apparently not going to work because these diaries are not always labelled as such.
This morning I started reading and was several paragraphs into it before I realized I was reading backwards in time.
[I have to go work as an election worker today so I won't be able to respond to this diary till tonight at the earliest (depends on how exhausted I am from the day) . I'm hoping for good suggestions though.]
:(
