Using shoutouts.page to embed a link to my workshops
Maybe this would be a great time to share more buildinpublic or experiment with how this works.

Displaying the embeded shoutout
I created a small snippet on shoutouts.page by Vincent Ritter
I chose this because, once included, any changes to the text or image will automatically update everywhere it's embedded

The form for creating the shoutout
I then embedded this to two places:
I could not make it work for the Hashnode where I have the longer form articles: allaboutcoding.ghinda.com. Not sure why and I did not had time to debug.
The entire process took me about 30 minutes at most, considering I already had the Open Graph image from a post I published about the \#GoodEnoughTesting workshop some time ago.
Before using Shoutout, I manually added information about where to find me online at the end of each blog post. This process was time-consuming, and if I wanted to make changes, I had to edit multiple posts in various places.
