Still: The Slow Home

Product Information

When you are editing a story, even before publishing it, there is a slightly different url, which looks like this: As an added bonus, the navigation bar I created adds a degree of empty space between the title and the body of text which in my opinion looks nicer. Unfortunately, I had already manifested, through my furiously dancing fingertips, a 2,700 word essay pointing out the ignorance I felt strongly present in the magazine article, only to find there was no way to share it — cue Medium.com.

Among the states hardest hit were the states most contested in the campaign between Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, namely Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. A CNN investigation found that 14 of the 17 states surveyed showed an increase in the rate of Covid-19 cases only one month after hosting a Donald Trump campaign event. Still: The Slow Home BY Natalie WaltonConsider Sustainable, Local, Organic, Whole choices. Develop a rhythm that works for your life, and find pleasure in the process. Joe Biden and his Democrats in Congress have criticized President Trump for handling his health crisis.

Note the bolded identifier at the end of the url — this is the number you want to append on the short form url, as I did in my example. Serious cases of Covid-19 are also on the rise, as hospitals in six states report having the most patients with the disease since the pandemic began. The number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized has increased by more than 50% in October to 46,000, the highest since mid-August. Last year, I shared a book by interior stylist and author, Natalie Walton , This is Home , which focused on simple living and creating living spaces that bring joy and comfort. Now, Natalie has published a new book which builds on the central tenet of simple living. How to Publish a Structured Book on MediumAs for the nuts and bolts of doing it, there are three main issues you have to deal with: Medium is structured to publish “stories” of a limited length, so your work has to be forced into that format; Medium does not provide the kind of navigational tools that are available in an ebook; and readers on Medium don’t expect an article to be part of a larger work.More than 1,000 people died from the virus on Thursday, the third time the daily death toll has exceeded that this month, and the death rate is expected to continue rising. Covid-19 claimed at least 926 more deaths as of Friday. In the US House of Representatives, Democrats released a report on Friday condemning the Trump administration’s pandemic response as “one of the worst leadership failures in American history”. After being hospitalized for Covid-19 in early October, Trump continued a massive campaign that drew thousands of supporters who gathered and many were not wearing masks. The Trump campaign says rallies are safe and that masks and social distancing are respected. Living mindfully is a central tenet of the 'slow' philosophy, which encourages SLOW - Sustainable, Local, Organic, Whole - choices.

Recognise the difference between a need and a want. And that you have a choice –from what you consume to how you live. While there are still many physical book readers — myself among them — the option to have a book on a mobile device is just such a no-brainer. And while Ebooks are good for large publishers who can (and do) command a nice bit of change for their product, for a small writer, ebooks don’t offer much of any benefit over what Medium provides. And in fact, the tools that Medium provides, which I mentioned above, are absent from ebooks. I like reading books Still: The Slow Home BY Natalie Walton where I feel my brain have an IQ orgasm. The homes in this book - 20 in total, in 13 different countries - differ in some ways, but there is still an aesthetic (not just in terms of looks, but also philosophy and approach) which unites them. They are all uncluttered, with lots of 'quiet' and empty space; they tend to have a neutral palette, which is restful on the eyes; they all have an emphasis on natural materials and their textures; and they all tend to feature second-hand (used, vintage) materials or local (artisan, individual) materials or both.

The final piece of the navigation puzzle is to use another hyperlinked attribution line (as in the above examples) to the next article in sequence within the book at the end of the article. I do this before any footnotes, above the footer for the publication. Here is what it looks like: A story’s url can take on different forms, so it is not always structured as in the previous example. This is what a friend’s link to the About story looks like: Continue on to What is Meditation? ?The end result of applying these methods is a good usability case for publishing a book on Medium. Still: The Slow Home explores the slow philosophy through a series of 20 stories about people from all over the world who have chosen to simplify and slow down their lives in different ways. Having developed a keen interest in Natalie’s work and simple living philosophy (in particular, her emphasis on styling your home with what you already own) over the last couple of years, I was very keen to get my hands on this book. Note again that the unique identifier is there just before the “/edit.” Note also, that you can just copy this initial url and truncate that suffix off of it to obtain the short url form directly.

I am in the process of renovating a small house in France and I find myself obsessed with interior decor books at the moment - particularly if they fall into the 'modern rustic' category, as this one does. Icame to Medium out of frustration. I had read an article in an online “prosumer” magazine that has the air of a serious scientific journal, but which fails to encompass the heart of science — the debate — by disallowing any comments or unsolicited rebuttals/responses to their articles. Finally, the medium apps allow readers to bookmark a story, and even archive it for later use, both of which are useful in reading your publication as a book.I create a story without tags and no images that will serve as a table of contents for a subsection of the book. The title is the section name, or name of the sequence of “stories” that I have cut a long section of text into. The subtitle is just “Table of Contents.” You can then add hyperlinked titles and optional short descriptions to construct your table of contents. The one problem I was confronted with was that the long urls of each story do not always work in the apps. (I know not why) Instead, you have to use a short url, consisting of only the unique identifier of each article, if you want to create a “table of contents” to directly link to stories. Here is how I do this: The report also represents the world’s highest national daily casualty toll during the pandemic, surpassing India’s record 24-hour spike in daily cases of 97,894 recorded in September. And of course, that workaround is only useful as you are publishing the book. Later, when the whole book is available in Medium, the sequential releasing is no longer in effect.
