Libsyn is one of the podcast hosts which I use for a while. It wasn't screen reader friendly for a period but now is working reasonable I will say. Actually, the only thing which I need to do in Libsyn web interface is to upload an MP3 file which is tagged and ready to be published. I have to use an option called "file for download only" and after pressing publish or save Libsyn will generate a URL which is the direct full address of the mp3 file. This URL is placed in a read only edit field and the last thing to do before leaving Libsyn will be to select and copy it in clipboard. Using the PowerPress plugin in WordPress I can handle the rest of podcast episode's aspects til this is online. If you wish to hear a little demo made with Safari in Mac and using Voiceover screen reader, then you are welcome. I used keyboard and trackpad navigation combined to achieve this. As probably you know already, there is a podcasting course available for blind people interested to become podcasters. For more details go to the Podcast course's dedicated page Enjoy listening this little demo.

Curve is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) that lets users and other decentralized protocols exchange stablecoins (DAI to USDC for example) with low fees and low slippage. Unlike exchanges that match a buyer and a seller, users transact with the smart contract itself. By providing a flatter curve targeted for relatively stable pairs, Curve has established the lead position for these markets. Curve is also leveraging its own token CRV to incentivize long-term adoption of the protocol and decentralize control of governance.We were joined by Curve Finance Founder, Michael Egorov, to chat about why he created the protocol and his long term vision for the project.Topics covered in this episode:Michael's background and how he got into cryptoHow Curve works from the perspective of a trader and as a liquidity providerHow they came up with the stableswap designHow Curve compares to Uniswap v3Michael's take on forks, fork threat, and Curve's moatCurve's thesis on good governanceHow they keep the protocol secureAn overview of the Curve community and ecosystemThe long term vision for CurveEpisode links:Curve FinanceCurve ResourcesCurve on TwitterMichael on TwitterSponsors:ParaSwap: Give ParaSwap a try at paraswap.io/epicenter.

The ability to move Bitcoin on other chains isn't a new idea, and many are trying to overcome the technical limitations which make this a technically challenging feat. The latest representation of Bitcoin on Ethereum is tBTC, a fully-backed ERC-20 token representing bitcoin collateral. tBTC is fully decentralized and relies on Keep Network, a decentralized multi-party computation which enables cross-chain bridging. We were joined by Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis (the team behind tBTC and Keep Network) to chat about the tBTC technology, his vision for the future of interoperability and value propositions of different chains.Topics covered in this episode:- Matt's background - how he got into crypto and his experience in the space- The Keep Network - dencetralized multi-party computations- Why trustless minting of tBTC is important- tBTC and its security model- Dark DAOs and vote buying- The merge between Keep Network and NuCypher- What other mergers are being looked at for the future- Matt's views on the idea of BTC existing as tokenized asset on Ethereum and other chainsEpisode links: - [Thesis](https://thesis.co/)- [Keep](https://keep.network/)- [tBTC](https://tbtc.network/)- [Keep Discord](https://discord.com/invite/wYezN7v)- [Thesis on Twitter](https://twitter.com/thesis_co)- [Keep on Twitter](https://twitter.com/keep_project)Sponsors: - ParaSwap: Give ParaSwap a try at paraswap.io/epicenter.

Lindsey Anderson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/oneclicklindsey) known as One-Click Lindsey is the host and guest on today's episode of Traffic and Leads Podcast (http://trafficandleadspodcast.com/). Today, She is talking about LinkedIn information that’s useful for everyone to know—from beginner steps to advanced things you can be doing to improve your overall experience while getting your foundation set-up. Everything that I’m about to share with you is information that people will offer in a course, so make sure you tune in and save yourself some money. so, let’s get started! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: * The number thing you have to know when beginning your journey on LinkedIn is your plan. You need to establish why you’re on LinkedIn—to generate more leads, to drive traffic to your website, to increase the content you share, to establish yourself as an expert in your field of business. Once you nail down what you’re trying to do, the campaign you’re running can be a lot more tailored to those needs, and you’ll find success quicker and easier. * However, if you’re not actively running a LinkedIn campaign, there’s still good news. To find true success on LinkedIn, make sure you’re spending a minimum of 20 minutes a week on your account. Reach out and make connections and relationships with people, make good comments on other people’s posts, and try to be helpful without asking for anything that. Those are the perfect blend for success. Additionally, where we usually need some level of automation for our businesses to grow, that technique tends to fall flat on LinkedIn. It’s more about one on one connections, trying to help people, and creating interesting content. * It’s also very important to have an updated LinkedIn profile. You need to have a photo of yourself, you need to create a decent headline that’s interesting, and you want to make sure your biography is filled out (make sure you’re talking in the third person in your biography, so people who want to work with you can learn more about you). It’s important to remember that most people who want to work with you will probably see your LinkedIn profile before they see your website. * Another thing you can be doing is giving and receiving endorsements and recommendations. When your time is spent giving positivity and praise to other people, many of them will return the favor. You don’t have to lie, or be outlandish—just be genuine and true with your statements, and that’s where the results are. * With your profile set up, you’ll want to make sure that you claim a custom URL. LinkedIn will give you this option under their settings, and so long as the URL you want is available, you can make yourself much more easily accessible. This URL also looks much nicer in search engine results, and it allows a better chance for your profile to appear on the first place of search results when people Google your name. * Another strong tip you should be taking is using LinkedIn Pulse. It’s LinkedIn’s version of a blogging platform, and everyone who has a profile has access to LinkedIn Pulse. The best way to utilize this power is by making a blog post on your blog website, and let it marinate for about week. Then, a week later, you can take that blog post and do one of two things: 1) you can copy the entire blog post, paste it onto LinkedIn Pulse, and attach the original article link, or 2) you can take half of the blog post, make sure to stop at a time where the content seems extremely interesting, and include the link at the end to make people finish reading the article on your website. And, before you worry, these methods have not fallen prey to the duplicate content penalty that Google likes to swing down. * Additionally, every time you post on LinkedIn Pulse,

Watch VideoGNU General Public License. You can download MAMP from Living-e AG. The download page can be found HERE.Current MAMP versions require Mac OS X 10.4.x. If you're running Mac OS X 10.3.x you can download an earlier version of MAMP 1.4.1 (universal binary), for Intel and PowerPC.Previously this site covered installing Joomla! 1.0x in the MAMP environment on your computer. Now that Joomla! 1.5 is available as a stable release you may want to install version 1.5 site on your Macintosh computer using MAMP. The two versions of Joomla! install methods are very similar but there are changes to Joomla! 1.5 that you can get familiar with here.As of this writing MAMP is a Universal Binary version 1.7.1. The download is a 127 MB disk image. There is also a MAMP Pro version that you can read about HERE. This article will deal with the regular and free version of MAMP.MAMP is installed on your computer in your 'Applications' Folder. In order to work properly the MAMP folder must be located in the Applications folder. You should also have at least 250 MB of free space on your hard drive.Once MAMP is installed on your Mac you are now ready to install Joomla! 1.5. Get the latest full install of Joomla! from joomla.org. On the home page of joomla.org There is usually a banner with a button to download Joomla! When you click that download button you may be taken to a page which offers a couple of compressed install package options. The install packages come compressed as a .zip, .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 compression. Your Macintosh OSX computer can deal with any of these compressions. Pick the one of your choosing and download that to your computer.Let's say that you chose the .tar.gz package. Your download will likely be called 'Joomla_1.5.8-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz'. Note that '1.5.8' will change as newer releases of Joomla! are made available. Uncompress this package on your hard drive by double clicking it. Your Mac OS X computer will expand the package into a folder with all the folders and files inside that you require for your install.You can change that expanded folder name into something simpler like Joomla153 for instance. That's what we'll use for this article. Move this entire Joomla153 folder and its contents to the MAMP application and put it inside the folder called 'htdocs'. The path to the 'htdocs' folder will be /Applications/MAMP/htdocs.Now you are ready to install Joomla! 1.5. You can start MAMP, the application is inside the MAMP folder. It's simply called 'MAMP'. When MAMP starts up it should launch your web browser, if it isn't already running, and take you to a start up page with a URL of http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English.Before you navigate to the Joomla! web installation page you are going to need an MySQL database for Joomla!. This can be created using phpMyAdmin which is included with your MAMP install. You can get to phpMyAdmin from the startup page in MAMP. Get to the startup page either by clicking the button 'Open start page' on the MAMP startup interface screen or open by typing the following URL in your web browser:http://localhost:8888/MAMP The page that appears has a navigation toolbar near the top of the page. You will find a button for phpMyAdmin on it. When the page refreshes you will be on the phpMyAdmin screen. About half way down the page on you will see in bold text 'Create new database' and a field for you to type in the name you want to use for your database. For this article we are going to call the database 'joomla153' (without the quotes). The default settings of this page should be fine to use. Once you type in the name of your database click the 'Create' button. When the screen refreshes you will see the results 'Database joomla153 has been created.' There will be no tables for this database and you do not need to create any because your Joomla! install will create the necessary tablesYou still need to create a username and a password for the database.So lets make a username and password for our joomla153 database. Click the home icon button in the left column of the phpMyAdmin screen. When the screen refreshes you should see your database name 'joomla153' with (0) beside it. Turn your attention to the middle of the page near the bottom and look for 'Privileges'. Click the Privileges link.Next screen, about the middle of the page, is a link to 'Add a new user' - click this linkHere is the screen where you will fill in the Username, Host, and Password for your database. You could use 'root' for the username and password but I don't do this. By making a specific username and password for the database you establish good security habits.• In the User name field type a username for your database• In the 'Host' field type in 'localhost' (without the quotes).• In the 'Password' field type a password for your database• In the 'Re-type' field verify your password by typing it again exactly as the field above.A little further down the page is 'Global privileges' You can click the link 'Check All' and checkmarks will appear in the Data, Structure, and Administration boxes.Once you have done this go to the bottom right corner of the screen and click the 'Go' button. After the screen refreshes you should see 'You have added a new user.' results.Now you are ready to complete your Joomla! 1.5 installation. To get to your Joomla! web installation in MAMP use the following URL:http://localhost:8888/Joomla153Note: if you changed the name of your Joomla! folder to something else, put it in the place of 'Joomla153' in the above URL. This URL will take you to Step 1 of the web installation page for Joomla! 1.5. The first page is the language selector. Pick the language of your choice from the list on the right side of this page then click the 'Next' button on the top right of this page. Next screen is Step 2: Pre-installation Check. You'll see a list on the right side of the page with information about the installation environment. You want to be seeing green and not red results to the right of the directives. If there are items marked with a red 'No' would need to correct them. Since this is a MAMP install there shouldn't be anything marked with a red 'No' so you are good to go. Click the 'Next' button on the top right of this screen.Next page is Step 3: License. This is the Joomla! GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. You should become familiar with the license. When you are done here click the 'Next' button on the top right of this page. Next screen is Step 4: Database. The right side of the screen is where you need to fill in information about the database.• By default the Database Type is mysql. We will leave it set to this.• Host Name - In this field type in 'localhost' (without the quotes)• Username - Here you will type in the username that you created for the database earlier. I used 'joomla153user' (without the quotes)• Password - this is a password for the database username. Type in the password you used when creating the username and password in phpMyAdmin earlier.• Database Name - This is the name of your database. I used 'joomla153' (without the quotes) when creating the database earlier in phpMyAdmin.Below the Basic Settings are Advanced Settings. In the Advanced Settings you can choose to Drop Existing Tables of an already set up MySQL database you might be using with a Joomla! install. You can also choose the option to Backup Old Tables. Since this is a new Joomla! install with a new database being created we there is no need to make any changes here. When you are done here click the 'Next' button on the top right of this page.So if you have all the information filled in the fields you can click the 'next' button on the top right of this screen to take you to step 5.If the information was filled out correctly on the previous screen you will be presented with Step 5: FTP Configuration. If instead you get a screen telling you there was an error, go back and complete the previous steps correctly.The FTP basic Settings are set by default to 'No'. You can click the radio button and set it to 'Yes' if you like to Enable the FTP file system Layer. I use this in my MAMP environment to enable the use of an ftp program to update the Joomla! install when there is a new version of Joomla! released.Since you set the Enable FTP file system Layer you will need to fill in the FTP User, FTP Password, and FTP Root Path fields.• FTP User - The FTP User for your local computer should be the short name of your computer login name, or the name that appears beside the 'Home' icon in your finder window. If the name of your User account on your Mac is 'Joe Joomla' then your username will likely be 'joejoomla' (without the quotes). This is the name you will put in the FTP User field.• FTP Password - In this field you would put your user login name for your computer. This is the name you type in the login screen when you have logged out of your computer.• FTP Root Path - The root path to your Joomla! install inside MAMP will be:/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/joomla153If you used a different named for your Joomla! install folder then use it instead of joomla153.You should click the 'Verify FTP Settings' button to ensure that the information you filled in is correct. You will get a confirmation message telling you the settings are valid if the information is right.Under the Basic Settings is 'Advanced Settings'. In the fields you will see FTP Host with 127.0.0.1 filled in. You should change this to the IP address of your computer. You can find the IP address of your computer in the Network preferences pane of your System Preferences. The IP address of your computer may change depending on how your computer is set up. If you use DHCP to get an IP address when connecting to the Internet, then you will need to keep an eye on this and change it in the Joomla! admin Global Settings screen when necessary or you can simply leave the Basic Settings for FTP Configuration set to 'No' on this screen. You won't be able to use FTP layer if you do this but you can always enable it later, if needed, in the Joomla! Global Settings.When you are done these steps click the 'Next' button on the top right corner of this screen. If all the information was filled correctly you will go to the next screen: Step 6: Configuration - On the right side of the screen are fields to fill in.• Site Name - Put whatever name you would like to use for your site in here• Your E-mail - Put in your valid email address. Joomla! can send notification emails to you.• Admin Password - Put a password in here. This will be the password that you will need to login to the backend administration screens for Joomla!• Confirm Admin Password - It must be typed in exactly as the Admin Password field above.Below these fields is a radio button to Install Default Sample Data with a 'Install Sample Data' button. It is a really good idea to let Joomla! to install sample content for your new install. It helps you to see how things work in Joomla!. You can unpublish or even delete this content later as you add your own content to your site.We will leave the migration script area alone for this article since this is a new Joomla! install. When you are done on this screen click the 'Next' button on the top right side of the screen to get to: Step 7: Finish - Congratulations! Joomla! is Installed. Before you can click either the 'Site' or 'Admin' buttons on the right top corner of this screen you will need to visit the htdoc folder where your Joomla! folder is and go inside that folder and delete the following from the Joomla! folder:• Folder - installation folder - delete the entire folder from the directory• File - INSTALL.php - delete the file from the directoryOnce those two items are removed from the Joomla! installation folder you can then visit your front page or your Joomla! admin area.
