A Little Tech Help Please - Uploading Audio To Blog

[Mike Williams]

Let me just say in advance how grateful I am to you Warriors. Even before posting this I can be 99% sure that some Warrior straight from heaven will jump in with a response.

This truly is the greatest forum ever and I'm eternally grateful.

Now on to my question.

I've got an mp3 file on my computer.

I've got a blog. A Wordpress.org blog on a domain I own.

I'd like to have that audio appear on the blog with a player that most everyone will be able to use successfully.

Using Google these were the best instructions I found yet:

(V.2) How To: Upload and Stream Your MP3s Through Your Wordpress.com Blog — For Free

I like the looks of that Wordpress player. But will these instructions work for a Wordpress. ORG site? These appear to be just for Wordpress.com sites.

Use the podpress plugin Mighty Seek - Web Application Security Podcast and Blog » PodPress

You will be able to upload your mp3 from within your wordpress dash board and position it where you want in a post.

The player can also be customized from within the plugins admin area.

Thanks Tom! So I guess the instructions I posted above wouldn't work for Wordpress.org?

Actually I'm not sure. It seems it would.

I do know podpress will work with a self hosted wp blog as long as you can ftp the plugin to your plugins folder and activate it.

The plugin is well supported and can publish to itunes. Not really familiar with any others - all I have ever used is podpress.

The player is similar to the one at your link you can see it used here Team WaWa is Born Podcast | Pre-Season |

Tom,

I've uploaded the plugin. It's asking for the "Location". The Location is on my computer.

What should I put there?

Thanks so much in advance.

Mike
