Adding the listen button to your website
The listen button is a small widget that allows readers of your website to easily listen to a page's content with SoundGecko.
Add an HTML anchor to your page followed by a snippet of Javascript to embed the listen page.
Configuration
You can change the text of the button by simply setting the text in your HTML element.
To override the current page's URL being specified, set a specific URL to listen to by setting the data-url attribute in the HTML anchor to what you desire. Note: the URL specified must be a full URL and begin with http:// or https://.
Adding a large listen button to your website
To add a larger listen button simply add the soundgecko-large class to your HTML anchor.
