I was really excited to see this pop up on my Twitter feed. AMP pages are a much much better experience on mobile and more publishers big and small need to be doing it. This tool from Postlight gives you no excuses not to use AMP.
Any live sites using this?
Mine : Doesn't works very well on the home page, but great on articles :
Maker
Yep, several. Google Splitsider on mobile and you'll see it in action in the AMP carousel.
Can this be used with Blogger? I've been trying to get it to work but have no luck
Maker
If you find Template > Edit HTML, you could try adding add the meta tag like this: <link rel='amphtml' expr:href='"" + data:blog.url' />
Huzzah! Successfully installed :) thanks
Here's some code for Tumblr users (PH isn't formatting it correctly so go to the link to get the text):
I love how simple this was to use and implement that I put together a quick plugin for WordPress users to easily implement it.
just testing your plugin.... Oh no! An AMP link tag is present, but its href is not pointing to the mercury.postlight.com subdomain
interesting. It was. I'll have to check.
i checked the code and yes it bugged out
I just looked again and it's pointing to the appropriate mercury.postlight.com subdomain and includes the query to the page/post. Can you link me to an example where it's not working?
so i added to it my blog and tested a few links with the it's own validator and that's the error it threw up, i removed the plugin from my blog
Does this work on Squarespace Pages?
Maker
Yes, it will! Here is how you could add the amphtml meta tag to your Squarespace article:
Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it.
Only does one article at a time?
Maker
You could do one article at a time or programmatically add the URL parameter to Mercury's amphtml meta tag.
