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?

@icipascal Mine : https://lawgier.net Doesn't works very well on the home page, but great on articles : https://lawgier.net/2016/05/10/r...

@icipascal 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

@marawan_1997 If you find Template > Edit HTML, you could try adding add the meta tag like this: <link rel='amphtml' expr:href='"http://mercury.postlight.com/amp..." + data:blog.url' />

I love how simple this was to use and implement that I put together a quick plugin for WordPress users to easily implement it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/si...

@scottwyden just testing your plugin.... Oh no! An AMP link tag is present, but its href is not pointing to the mercury.postlight.com subdomain
Scott Wyden Kivowitz
@davidiwanow interesting. It was. I'll have to check.
David Iwanow
@scottwyden i checked the code and yes it bugged out
Scott Wyden Kivowitz
@davidiwanow 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?
David Iwanow
@scottwyden 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?

@stuli1989 Yes, it will! Here is how you could add the amphtml meta tag to your Squarespace article: https://support.squarespace.com/...

Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it.

Only does one article at a time?

@franchiseking You could do one article at a time or programmatically add the URL parameter to Mercury's amphtml meta tag.
