"News and Events" Page: "X Minutes to read" should be of the page itself, not of the abstract #225

Description

@tillkamppeter

On the "News and Events" page

https://openprinting.github.io/news

there are boxes for each blog entry, each box containing title, author, abstract, and minutes to read, but the minutes to read are always "less than 1 minute to read". It seems that they refer to the abstract in the box, which is totally useless. The reader wants to know how mucht time it takes to read the actual blog article where the box is pointing to.

    hey @tillkamppeter minutes to read is going to be some hard coded values or what ?

    I think the minutes are calculated by some algorithm, can even be that just the number of bytes of text determines the minutes to read.

    If it is too complex to get the minutes value from the pages with the actual blog articles, just remove them in the "News and Events" list view.
