Lila said I could post her MySpace song. (Favorite line: “Mi Spase es tu Spase.”) I meant to upgrade the Arcata Eye Scene blog so I could post .mp3s there, but hit the wrong button and ended up crediting this blog instead. Oops. It’s a multi-day process to upgrade, so rather than pay even more and go through it again, I’ll just share Lila’s genius here. Enjoy.

Jen, you don’t need to upgrade your WordPress to post an MP3 file if that MP3 already lives elsewhere on the Web.
Just put in a tag like this …
[audio http://sampleurl.com/file.mp3%5D
… and WordPress will pop up with a fancy Flash player and everything.
Like this.
Oops. Make that:
[audio http://sampleurl.com/file.mp3%5D
OK, WordPress is flipping. What I’m trying to say is that you have to put that final, closing square bracket after the URL.
In other words,
….blah.mp3]
Check your “comments awaiting moderation” if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Well, damn. Is there anything you can’t do?!
Thanks for that helpful tip, Hank. I will try it over at the Eye site.
