expandable post tutorial

If you're going to post up something fairly lengthy, you now have the option of collapsing it into an expandable post to save space. [Read Full Post]

I added the code to the template, so it'll always show up when you open up the New Post window. It'll look like this in the Edit Html tab:

<a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('POST TITLE HERE')">[Read Full Post]</a> <div class="commenthidden" id="POST TITLE HERE"></div>

You can go into the Edit Html tab and just delete it if you're posting something short. It won't affect your post at all. If you do want to use it, there are just a few things to know:

1.) Enter all of the stuff you want to be shown (i.e. not initially hidden) before the code.

2.) Enter all of the stuff you want to be hidden right before the </div> at the end.

3.) Copy/Paste the title of your post in the two areas where it says POST TITLE HERE in the code.

Thus, for this particular post, the code looks like this:

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:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (DIGIRAATII Dance Til You're Dead Remix)

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!
