This will seem like a LOT of information for you to absorb to do this trick of music and blogs but actually once you have done this successfully one time.. it is a breeze after that.. so hang in there.. it will be worth your time I promise my friend.

You need a host file site to get the hot link ( direct url) from. I use fileden.com. You can get a free account with them to host your mp3 files.

1.Your music must be in the mp3 file format and must not be protected by copyright of any kind.  If your song is protected by copyright.. fileden will not upload it and give you the links.

2.You upload the music to your computer and then upload to your fileden account.

3. Then click the drop down menu they have above the file listings and choose Generate IMG tags.

4.Then choose direct url from the choices given to you. Place this link into the slot on your blast and save it for music on your page that will start when the visitor clicks the click here option on your blast.

5. If you want to put an mp3 player into your blog with a html code .. this is the code you need.. take out the *  where it says <---place url here---> delete that also and place the direct url from file den into the code.

make the size 300 x45 for a mp3 media player that will only show the player controls.

I pasted this blank code into my wordpad and saved it.. that way I only have to copy  and paste it into the blog composer and make the necessary changes to it there.

If you wish to have a player that no one sees.. then make the size 0x0 and the background color the same as your blog background page color. It will play the song without anyone knowing where it comes from. * note.. only drawback with this written code for a media player is that only people with Internet Explorer for a browser will be able to see or hear it.

If this all seems really difficult to you let me make a suggestion please.. it will simplify this a great deal for you.

I recommend using a site like MyFlashFetish.com for the mp3 player you can place into your blogs. They have a free account and will provide you the music as well as the player and generate the html code for you.

After you have gotten the code from the site open up a blank composer and on top of the composer is a check box and the words HTML Source..

put some text into the composer and then put a check into the box of the HTML Source.

then paste the code into the composer.

uncheck the box. your mp3 player is there but you may not see it. Go to the bottom of the page and click preview to see your player and check if it is working .. then click edit.. finish your blog and post it.
