How to Embed Your List in Your Own Blog

My Lists already does something worth using more than it probably is: every list you build gets a real embed code — a working, live iframe you can drop into your own blog, Substack, personal site, wherever you write. This isn't a future feature. It's already there. Here's exactly how to use it.

The actual steps

  1. Find a track, video, or article you want to save — click the + next to any dispatch on the homepage feed.
  2. Go to My Lists. You'll have three separate lists — Music, Video, and Reading — each capped at 25 items, so pick whichever fits what you just added.
  3. Name the list something real — this becomes part of the embed's title, so "Songs for a long drive" reads better than "list 1."
  4. Click Save & get embed code. That's it — the code is ready immediately, no waiting on approval.

What you actually get

A real `<iframe>` tag, not a placeholder or a screenshot:

<iframe src="https://www.artisanalindie.com/embed-list.html?slug=your-list-slug" width="360" height="300" frameborder="0" title="Your List Name — a music list on Artisanal Indie"></iframe>

Paste that anywhere your platform accepts HTML — most blogging platforms have an "embed" or "custom HTML" block for exactly this. The list plays live, straight from wherever each track actually lives (Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud) — same as it does here, nothing re-hosted.

Why this matters more than it sounds: the list stays live and yours even if you never touch that blog post again. Update the list here, and the embed everywhere it's posted updates with it — you're not copy-pasting a static snapshot that goes stale.

A real use case

Writing about an album, a mix, a moment in your own listening — instead of describing what you were playing, embed the actual list. A reader can press play without leaving your post, and it's still genuinely your list, controlled from your own account here.
