IC's Blogger Tutorials #2 - Sharing Audio and Folders

Hey IC here to bring you some quality information, for absolutely no pay whatsoever. Welcome back to IC's Blogger Tutorials where I'll be talking about how to share audio, be it from labeled singers or your own podcast, and how to share folders from your computer. Now here are the steps neccesary in order to add audio to your blog and/or website.

Audio Steps

#1. First take your downloaded or recorded audio, in this case it'll be a podcast so recorded audio. Then go to a hosting website the best ones in my opinion are the ones posted here. Make sure you've sign up and posted the correct audio file.

#2. Once you've uploaded your audio file be sure to get the embed code from the description of the audio player, lets say Last FM. Then if you wish to put the audio within your post, you must travel to the "Edit HTML" part of the post right next to compose at the top of the text box.

#3. Make sure you've placed it in an area of the post where it is most complimented. Then once it's up sit back, listen and enjoy. If it is a downloaded song be sure to credit the artist, and the label for legal issues.

File Sharing

#1. Be sure to put the folder is put in a place where it can be uploaded easily on your computer. Then go to a good uploaded share website, I reccomend maybe Rapidshare that seems to be the easiest to manuver through without a whole lot of trial and error.

#2. Now that it's up get the link which means you should highlight some text and click link in the posting coloum above your text box. Once you get the link place it in the Web URL section and people can click and download.

#3. Now that it's up just wait for people to download, and enjoy. For security measures, if you downloaded the file from a seperate place, I suggest you virus scan it so your and your downloaders computers do not become infected.

Thanks for reading, and happy blogging.
