How to Add Audio To Your Blog







Click to play button to listen to my audio.

There are audio blog services such as audioblogger which enable you to record your blog via telephone or hipcast.com which enables you to record via telephone, online or upload your audio files. Hipcast is a great service for podcasting and costs from $9.95.

You can post audio on a normal blog like blogger or wordpress but you will need to host the audio file somewhere else. This is OK if you have your own web space or you could use a free hosting service or a free media service like OurMedia.org or archive.org.

Simply create your audio buttons with a program like Flash Audio Wizard, upload the files to your server, or free web space, edit the html code that the program creates for you so the path name has the location of the files on your server, then paste the html code into your blog.

If you use WordPress for your blog take a look at my WordPress Blog. Click Here

How Easy Is It To Add Audio To My Web Site?

This is a question that I have been asked a number of times. Everyone's perception of "easy" is different. If you are a computer programmer adding audio to your web site should be easy. If you are new to computers you may think it is difficult.

So let me lay it out for you.

If you are using one of the programs I recommend on WebsiteAudioReviews.com you don't need to know any html but you should have an idea of what it is. You will need to be able to paste some html code into your web page. This code is created for you so you don't need to understand it, just paste it into your web page where you want the audio button to appear.

You must also be able to ftp or upload files to your web server/host. So you will need to know how to do this.

So, if you know about how to paste html code and upload then adding audio to your web site can be "Easy"
