Help please re Blogger coding/format problem

by terryrayburn
4 replies
1. When I have an Mp3 or other link in a post which appears on the Blogger main page, the links work fine.

Such as here:

Grace For Life (see Monday, July 20, 8:25 a.m. post)

2. But when I isolate a particular post with it's own URL, the links have extra date material in them and go to a "404" page.

Such as here:

Grace For Life: Where There's Death There's Life

Can I fix that?

Thanks.

    Short Answer:

    In the second link (the individual post) change the link from:

    <a href="2007_0514.mp3">

    to

    <a href="http://www.graceforlife.com/2007_0514.mp3">

    Explanation:

    It's to do with how the link is written in the post. The MP3 is stored here:

    http://www.graceforlife.com/2007_0514.mp3

    The two folders where each post are stored are:

    Grace For Life

    and

    Index of /2009/07

    And the link to the mp3 in both posts is:

    <a href="2007_0514.mp3">

    In the individual post, the browser thinks the mp3 is stored in

    Index of /2009/07

    So you need to put the whole address in it so it knows which folder it's in.

    Cheers,
    Chris

      Thanks, Chris. I see what you mean.

      But how do I change the link in the individual post?

      I can only edit the post itself in the Blogger edit mode.

    You don't edit the "individual post".
    You always edit the 'post itself' and NEVER use relative path (i.e. /something.jpg) but ALWAYS absolute path (i.e. http://example.com/something.jpg); as a result your links will always work.

      Thanks Chris and Pension Guy!

      It worked to put the full link (absolute path).
