embedded player tutorial

Hello, and welcome to the site! For those of you who are new to thegypsumsea and want to start embedding songs, here's a quick little tutorial to get you through the process. Just FYI, I'm going to assume nothing in terms of ya'lls tech savvy, so for some this may seem overly detailed but others may be unfamiliar with the process so let's help em out, kay?

SYSTEM HAS BEEN REVISED! Now all you have to do is put a direct link in your post, and the blog will do the rest. And all of this was accomplished with just one tiny motherfuckin line of code! FUUUUUUUU- [Read Full Post]

Step 1:
Go to top right corner of blog. Click 'New Post.'

Step 2:
Find a direct link to the song you want to post. Copy the URL (it must end in a music file extension like .mp3 for this to work).

Step 3:
Type some text describing the artist/song name in the 'New Post' window, e.g. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (DIGIRAATII Dance Til You're Dead Remix)

Step 4:
Highlight that text and then click the 'Link Button.' It's the one that looks like a little green planet with a chain link on it, next to the text formatting buttons.

Step 5:
Paste in the URL and hit 'Ok.' You're done! It should look like this:


Now, all people have to do is left-click on the link and a player should come up automatically. This also allows you to click on other songs and automatically start them while stopping whatever else is currently playing off the blog.

Cheers!
