3D poems again

Been having an enjoyable half an hour messing around with the QR code generator: the trouble is that my small phone app cannot handle anything too complicated - William Shakespeare and John Donne were both out - or in colour.

Nice if it could.

Plus the qrcode generators themselves have a word limit too - so bye bye Elizabeth Bishop.



The final solution for your delectation is a riddle poem in QRcode. A riddle within a code. As 3D as I can get so far. Enjoy.

How to add a QR code to your book

You have seen them - the little boxes of black and white code - and maybe you even use them. They are a quick route - literally quick response - for mobile users to access web information etc.



They are very easy to add to your book if you are publishing yourself or run a publishing company. And while you will probably always provide a print web address - they make a nice addition e.g. for people in bookshops who may not buy there and then but want to get more information; or need to confirm. They can just scan, read or store the details and job done.

To add:

  1. Decide on the information you want to encode - ideally this should be a page that knows it is being viewed by a mobile device with a small screen and adapts itself; at the very least a page that users can use on any device.
  2. Encode it using a QR generator app e.g. http://tag.microsoft.com/home.aspx or online at http://goqr.me/
  3. Download your image and stick it wherever you want it used.

Enjoy!
