[Blogging Tip #1: Embedding Music in your Blog]
Post edit: The links for these will probably disappear someday:
Some people have music on their blog. I used to have a playlist, but I took it down for the soundtrack challenge, and haven't really had the heart to put it back up. Every so often, you'll get me posting a song I like....
Hee hee.. Castle Crashers. :P
Or....
one of my favorite songs ever.
Ok. Here's what you'll need. A hosting site. That's it. Something to host the music at so you can play it from there. The player in the blog is actually a hack of the google player. If you're a friend of mine, you can probably use my hosting site.... I'll teach you how to upload it an/or get the links. *cough*Kristen*cough*.
Ok.
Here's the code:
Looks complicated...
Alls you have to do, is copy the whole extent of the code into "compose mode" or the HTML portion of your blogging platform, at the location in the post you want it. Then, see where the code is purple? Copy the Url in there from the place you're hosting. It HAS to end in Mp3, or wmv, or any other audio extension. No pages with the mp3 on it, ending in .html or .jsp.
Voila. Switch back to compose mode, and continue blogging away.
P.S. Check out my 101 in 1001 and see how I'm doing!

Here's the code:
allowscriptaccess="never" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" height="27" quality="best" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=http://premium.fileden.com/premium/2010/4/15/2829214/01%20-Jumper-%20(ID_%20168734).mp3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" wmode="window">
Oh, and you'll need to copy the word embed at the beginning. (With a < ) before it. and put an /embed at the end. with <> around it. (If I left these in, the code would have disappeared!)
