During this week I have experimented with adding an audio introduction and media player to the blog. I have only been able to add songs to the site (I got the idea from Andy's page). I want to use audacity to create an audio introduction, however the blog does not recognize the mp3 format. I am attempting to find a way to develop or use an existing html code to embed a player within the site. The mp3 players that I have found only play music files found online. I am thinking that I will need to create a subsequent page to house the audacity recording so that it will be recognized by one of the existing players. If someone has any ideas on a better way to add an audio recording to the site, I am open to any suggestions.
During this week I have also began to work with the poster printer. I have loaded the paper into the machine. I have loaded the software on the Dell computers in the production lab. However, I am having quite a bit of trouble getting the network to recognize the printer. I have loaded the printer software to laptop #1. I am currently exploring the parameters and printer capabilities. Please let me know if you have a printer that you wish to have printed, and I can use your project for practice.
Thank you Brian for working on the poster printer and exploring the machine. I hope we have something good to use this printer as a test.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it is cool idea to include a audio introduction in blog. Maby you can convert the audio file as the format to work in blog? (just like song in Andy's page?).
Yes Brian, it might be that the printer parameters does not match what we were thinking to do, or it could be that it works and we are missing just one dongle of code, lets take a field trip and observe the pros working with this. We may learn other ways and may other forms of set up.
ReplyDeleteHere is what I searched about inserting the music into blogspot:
ReplyDeleteTo begin, you will need to have a music file uploaded onto a server. You can read about using free hosts like Google Page Creator and Google Groups. We have also a rather comprehensive list of free Image Hosts and File Hosting Services in our article on Manage Blogger Image Storage Space. Check out those sites and choose one that is fast, reliable and enables hotlinking to the uploaded files. Upon uploading, note down the URL of the file.
Alternatively, there are several sites that offer free download of their music files. You can enter search words like “free music download” or search for a popular artist name in the Google search box. Most of the sites that offer free download will lead you to the file location stored in their servers. Copy the URL of the music file that you have chosen.
It's quite useful information for how to insert music. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHi Brian, look at the following link which explains how to embed an audio in a web page. You can upload your own audio file and replace the url with your own audio address.
