Music at Wordpress>> Box.net

Good news for those of you who have been struggling to have your music at wordpress!

After frustratingly trying to make the ivoon embed codes work with a text widget, and many other pirouettes... we finally realised that Wordpress has a specific widget for music:





So forget about ivoon and follow the 3 steps given at this widget.











Upload your music here and give your e-mail account information.











Copy the embed code to the widget and update.

Music in your Blog

Did you solve your problems with Flickr?
If you didn't you should first have a look at the Problems topic in the forum and read the post about it. Hope you'll find it useful.

If you solved the Flickr affair, you can go on with today's post.

Would you like to listen to some music while you are posting or editing your blog?
There many and varied sites that offer you the possibility of having a music player gadget in your blog: finetune, dizzler, opus player,...

All of them have the same modus operandi: 1st register ,2nd customize, 3rd copy embed code and 4th paste it to your blog .

We will use ivoon to publish our media player.
Click on the link and register your username and password

Once you sign in you can do the following things:

• Music Gallery: You look for the songs you like and add them to your playlist
• Upload: To upload your own music you have to register in one of these sites first and follow instructions

As it is explained you will have to upload your songs into one of these hosting websites. Once they are uploaded you will use their url to link them in your playlist

• Playlist: you can customize and organize your player. Copy the embed code and paste it into your blog either in a specific gadget or in a text widget if you don't find any.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 11TH
