music in journals

I am trying to update my help journal.  So much new stuff have been added to our journals since I first created that journal. 

I do need some help.  If you have ever done an entry - or know of one -- about adding music to journals would you PLEASE leave me the link?  I have a link to John's journal but it seemed to confuse everyone that left comments.  I have never tried to add music so I don't know anything about it.

If you can do it but have no entries on it would you make an entry? Please?  It would be helpful to so many people.

I'll let everyone know when I get the Help journal updated.  It may take me a little while as some of the old links that I was using have been deleted.  I so hate when you have great info and then someone deletes their journal.  I'll live.  Just have to find another place or write the entry myself. (and you really don't want me to try to write out instructions! LOL)

How to autoplay music




1. Load your music up on to the web - say your FTP space

2. Go to the edit option of the entry (or the ABOUT ME section)choose html

3. Here is the code you use

<IMG height=1 loop=infinite dynsrc=http://www.cnetwork.co.uk/ALMSGIVE.MID width=1 autostart="true">

The bold red text is the source file. Height and width are 1 because you don't want anything to be visible.  loop=inifinite means it will play on and on and on..........change it to a number if you prefer. Like 1 or 10 or whatever. dynsrc is the htm command to download the source file and autostart = true is self explanatory I hope.

So just copy the above code and replace the red with the actual location of the music you want to play.

Just remember the bigger the file the longer the delay before the music loads and plays.

hi Kathy...

First of all...go to "keyword" type "FTP" and click "my FTP space" where you have to register first...FREE. just follow instructions from there, it is straight forward...if anyone gets stuck i don't mind helping...when i got to CD or MP3, i clicked CD for the full music

This is the link below in the block to put in "all about me" section. go to  "view as" on the left of the screen, then click on "text" and then click "HTML" and insert the link below, but remember to put your own screen name and the name of the music you want uploaded ( must upload to FTP first )
I do hope this is of some help!

You might want to talk with Lori at Lori's Laurels. She can give you a number by number instructions on how to put up music and video. She has them on her Journal all the time. http://journals.aol.com/my78novata/LorisLaurels/  My Regards, Bill.
