Adding articles from the newsletter backissues #15

Closed dscotese closed 7 years ago

dscotese commented 7 years ago

The page at http://voluntaryist.com/backissues/ has all the back issues, which is great.

Carl would like the following articles copied out of them and added to the site. For each one, there should be a category (make one if it isn't already there) for the issue number ("Issue 164") with the Artices category as parent, and then put the new post in it.

(done) 164 - Lay the Axe to the Root of the Tree-Strategies to end human slavery (done) 165 Meeting the State Head on (done) 166 Copyright before statutory copyright (done) 168 On the Ownership of Ideas (done) 170 Chaos in the Air (done) 172 Poisoning the Public Mind (done) 172 Bankruptcy and Voluntaryism (done) 173 Slavery One Day at a Time

I can do all of these. It might take a few weeks. I'm working on part one of my video-book on Big-Bang cosmology. I'll do "Lay the Axe ..." first and ask for your review. Then I'll do the rest - incorporating the results of that review. How does that sound?

Great! I don't see how to assign you to it, and that might not be necessary unless someone really "special" decides to help. When you open the PDF and copy the text, it should take (way) less than five minutes to create each one.

Thanks!

I am starting from the bottom of the list because I have time. I'll post here each time I do one so that you'll know to stop when you read the last one I did.

Some notes:

I just did the last one. Oh, I'll just remove them from the list as I do them since I can edit my comments.

dobutler45 commented 7 years ago

I did the first one. On to the second one.

Some notes:

  • Use a text editor (I use Textpad) to combine the lines from each paragraph because WP adds a hard line break wherever we have a line-ending.
  • Add a line break between each paragraph.
  • Center and use Heading 4 for the ByLine.

If you do another, can you try to edit the issue to add the "(done)" I don't think you can because of the same reason that keeps you out of the list of people to whom I can assign this task. Maybe a better idea is to watch the project too (if you aren't already) to see if that helps.

This time I'm attaching an rtf file because the text file was just opened and inserted, which is no good for what I wanted to test.

The test showed that Github will not accept attachments. I was trying to see if Carl could just continue emailing his requests when there is a file involved, but it looks like he'll have to get onto github to add a file to an issue.

Insert Against Woman Suffrage in Articles. It originally appeared in Issue 103.

Against Woman Suffrage was already on the site, but not listed under Articles. I have added it to that category. I also updated the articles page with this one and all the new additions from the first comment in this issue.
