An Example for Audio Embedding

 Introduction

This blog post is meant to accompany a video I'm recording now, about embedding media to a blog post. If you've never embedded media to a blog post, don't worry, you are not alone. Once you learn the two basic hurdles (where to find embed code + how to paste html into a blog) you will feel confident embedding any media into any blogging page ever.

Copying Links

Copying the url address, or the "link", isn't really enough these days. If you had the choice to click an unknown link, or to click a play button on a media player on a web page you are already on, you would opt to play it quick and safe and use a media player "play" button.

Link from "copy link" button:

That link was from clicking the "copy link" button from soundcloud itself. As you can see, it's an ugly bunch of text.

Embedding

The better way to encourage people to actually listen or watch the final results of your hard work is to embed to the actual web page RIGHT HERE!

Here is an embedded audio from my soundcloud:
