Cue theme music now….
For
Katherine who wants to know how I add theme music to my posts.
Well…….. you can explode your brain learn html. Or you can just steal it borrow it from someone who knows it already. Like ……. say………me her.
Which is what I did.
And I did it like this.
I found a post on her blog with a music clip just like this one. At the top of the browser there is a menu bar. On Firefox it looks like this:
You are looking for Page Source in the View menu.
This will get you a window filled with hieroglyphics html code most of which you will ignore.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it Katherine, is to find the bit that creates the media player, highlight it and copy it (Ctl + C). It will look almost exactly like this:
<embed src=
http://www.iambossy.com/He_Needs_Me_Shelley_Duvall.mp3
controller="true" autoplay="false"
loop="false" height="20" width="100">
Simply replace her mp3 with yours!
(only you have to remove the extra carriage returns I had to insert so you’d be able to see it all)
<embed src=

News/audio/Robbie%20Dupree%20-%20Steal%20Away.mp3
controller="true"autoplay="false"loop="false"
height="20" width="100">
And bada bing bada boom you’ll be singin’ a tune.
Or you can just copy the code above and make yourself a wee text file to keep on your desktop so you can insert muzak into yo’ posts willy nilly.
You should also get yourself a copy of Windows Live Writer to make inserting that code into your post easy peasy!
3 corroborating stories:
Just remember, if you're going to put music in a post or website, please, please, please set it to a default of off, so people can play it if they want, but aren't assaulted by it if they don't want to hear it, such as when they are at work or the baby is sleeping.
Jodith- Good point. Note that in the code I've given Autoplay = FALSE! That's how you avoid "assaulting' your readers!
Thanks a lot Hi! And, I so agree Jodith.
I'm going to have a go and see if I kin do this now.
