On January 1st, 2022, all sound recordings made before 1923 entered the public domain, an estimated 400,000 sound recordings that document the beginning of recording technologies and include a rich variety of musical styles, such as vaudeville, ragtime, and early jazz. Some notable examples highlighted by the Association for Recorded Sound Collections are “Crazy Blues,” performed by Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds in 1920, and a 1917 recording of “Dixieland Jass Band One-Step” by the Original Dixieland Jass Band.
"Six years ago, in response to a Knight Foundation challenge program, we put in a proposal entitled "10,000 Creative Commons Ebooks". We had compiled a list of 2,300 Creative Commons Licensed ebooks, and we thought that with some more resources we could identify as many as eight thousand more. We didn't get the grant, but we kept on adding free ebooks to the Unglue.it catalog using automated processes and by individual discernment. We added Public Domain ebooks from Project Gutenberg, over 60,000 of them. We added over 30,000 Creative Commons licensed books from the Directory of Open Access books. We added computer books and textbooks, about 5,000 total. By the end of 2021, we had 102,692 open access books in our catalog and had distributed 6.45 million ebooks."

I am testing the enhanced version here at mixremix.cc. I have implemented iframe embeds and tested them with Youtube and Internet Archive embeds.
I will add the photos code from the Dirt Simple Photo Gallery with one picture across the top and the rest below the text. I will also add the code that allows punctuation in the captions and I am thinking of adding that to the text file names too.
I am forking Plain Text Blog to the enhanced version. In many ways I see the enhanced version as inferior but, as always, that depends on the application.
I do think that the enhanced version will satisfy my blogging needs. For a single blogger I would consider it full feature.
