Is there something about Stumble blogs you'd like help with - or think others would like to know? I can't fix bugs, broken toolbars, marriage problems - those you need to take to the Help & Bugs forums!
More superb help facilities here, and here *** Please note that I am not here very often and probably can't answer individual questions, but if I see the same question being asked a lot, I may create a new entry to cover it. ***

    How do you link to a sound file in your blog?

    You can link to sound files in exactly the way you link to another web page, or create a link to an image. The file must be on the web - not on your own computer! The link usually opens whatever sound player is installed on the computer to play the file.

    First, you need to find out the "url" or location of the sound file you want to link to. One way to do this is to "right click" on the link to the sound file and look at it's Properties. Make a note of - or copy and paste - the http: location address shown there.

    Here's an example:

    clearance.mp3

    The code used to create the example above looks like this:

        <a href="http://www.at94.dial.pipex.com/Stumblelinks/clearnce.mp3">clearance.mp3</a>

    Use the same technique to link to other types of file too.

    Tip: always test your links to check they work before someone else discovers they don't!
