I’m working today, but this whole frustration with getting music into a blog post is nagging at me, so I’m taking a few minutes to experiement. I’m not using Live Writer, I’m using the WordPress template. And while I was at it, I thought I’d also attempt to insert a photograph directly from my computer (I usually do it via Flickr). The nun photo seemed to upload with no problems. Yet.
Also, I’m going to try commenting inside people’s comments for awhile. A lot of you seem to be doing it on your own blogs these days and I think it might work for me also, to help me to keep up with my comments.
If you feel like it, please let me know if you’re able to play the song I’ve inserted below. I chose an old one in the hopes it wouldn’t have the locks or codes or whatever the hell is the problem with uploading new music these days, and I chose How Bizarre by OMC in honor of Buck, because he is doing something rather bizarre today (some kind of bidding war on the telephone with several other editors), so I thought he’d appreciate this song. When this song was new, we used to listen to it whenever we’d rent a convertible and drive from Vegas to Death Valley; we liked the “cruisin’ down the freeway in the hot-hot sun” part.
OMC is working – can I tell you how much I love this song? I still listen to it all the time. It’s on my workout list too. It’s funny when you listen to an older song all the time and then somebody else talks about it or posts it… just random I guess. Anyway, I love OMC and the link is working. I found out from wordpress themselves that things work better with Firefox then they do with Internet Explorer. So now I use firefox and I haven’t had any problems.
Thanks for testing this. I got an email from somewhere that said Firefox 3 was ready and I was thinking about it, so it’s funny you mentioned it here. Maybe I’ll switch to it, maybe that’s been the problem. OMC is very cool, aren’t they? On my computer the song is opening in a new window, which I didn’t want. I wanted it to be easy, but I guess nothing is.
Yes, the music link replaces this address – it worked, but I had to hit the back button (obviously? I’m using IE) to get back here to comment.
Have a great holiday weekend, -C
Well, I’m pretty sure this whole music idea sucks big time. It’s not what I wanted, but thanks for trying it. And oh my God is this a holiday? Wait…yeah, I guess it is. You have a great holiday weekend, too.
I too could hear the song, though it changed my tab and I have to use IE on my Window’s peripheral for school. Otherwise, I’d be using Firefox. Get with the program. (I use Safari on the Mac peripheral, I’ll have to try it there…)
You’re using the what with the who now?
Just kiddin’. Yeah, I’m going to switch over to Firefox. And as far the music thing goes, I totally give up.
is the nun photo anti-nun? If yes, i don’t like it. Is christianity a joke?
It must suck to be born without a sense of humor.
Cantueso is that you? You rascal!
