Question

How do u put background music on your yahoo 360 page?

Answer 1

There are 2 places you can put music on your 360. In a blog entry or in your blast. To put music in your blast, this is what you do:

Find the video you want from youtube or wherever and to the right of it you'll see the URL. Copy this link, then go to "Edit Blast" and just paste the link in, then save it.

Alternatively, you can put music that you have saved on your computer in your blast too. You need to set up an account first though. There are a number of sites, but I think this one is the best: http://www.mediamax.com Once you've uploaded the music you want, move it into the hosted file, then again, all you do is copy the link and paste it into your blast.

To put music in your blog entry, this is what you do:

Find the video you want, but this time, instead of copying the URL, copy the HTML code. Then go to "Compose Blog Entry", tick the HTML box first, then paste it in. Go to "Preview" to make sure you've done it properly, then save.

You dont always have to put a video in either. You can have music play automatically when people view your blog. This site is good for finding music you like: http://www.imeem.com or you could go through my account if you like: http://nothingelsematters.imeem.com/... . All you do then is type in the song you want, and once you've found it, again, copy the HTML code, then paste it into your blog entry, not forgetting to tick the HTML box FIRST. You can have it playing automatically too. You just tick the "Play Automatically" box on Imeem for that.

Hope that helped :) Any problems, mail me :)

Answer 2

You can only have background music play automatically in your blog. Otherwise, you can add music to your Blast (where the visitor has to click the play button).

BLAST:

Click "Edit Blast", paste the URL address of the MP3 file in the URL field, add text to the blast, and save it. The visitor will need to click the play-button icon when it appears.

* This allows you to put music on your Top Page instead of your blog, but it won't play automatically. Fileden, HotlinkFiles (http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/ ), SnapDrive (with a paid account) or Ripway are your best options for using music in your blast (other sites, like Imeem, don't allow hotlinking - meaning visitors would have to login to the site to hear the song).

For a step-by-step instructions with images for using Fileden in conjunction with your blast, see http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6f... . If you can find MP3 files online that are publicly available, you can skip the uploading steps and use those instead. However, you are depending on other people to keep those files active.

BLOG:
