Add sound to your website!

I got the sound on my website airplaneguru.angefire.com from the website http://www.freesound.org/. This site is a free project that has all sorts of sound effects for you to download. The only thing is, you have to register and log in to get the sounds. I registered for it, but in the process you have to put in your e-mail address (If you have a blog, you have a Google e-mail address, so you can register if you want). Here is how to put a sound effect on your website with freesound:

(If you don't want to register with freesound.org, the website search.creativecommons.com lets you search for more public domain [not copyrighted] works)

  1. Go to http://www.freesound.org/ and register.

  2. After registering, log in.

  3. Search for a sound effect you would like to put on your website with the search box on freesound.

  4. Click on your selected sound.

  5. Click on the graphic that says "click to download."
  6. You will be redirected to a different page and the sound clip you picked out will play. Copy the URL (website address).
  7. Now go to http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/ and log in to your angelfire website account.(If you don't have an account skip steps 7 and 8)

  8. Go to your Web Shell and click on index.html and click Edit.

  9. Make an "embed" tag between the "head" tags with the attributes width=0, height=0, and src="paste url here". ( This means type "<" then "embed" then width=0 height=0 src="paste url here" then type ">")

  10. Click save and you have a sound effect on your website!

The HTML strikethrough

This is the start of som some blogging questions. The first one is - the HTML strikethrough I just did to fix the grammar mistake. I find this a good thing to do to fix a grammar mistake instead of navigating to the Edit Post button on the Posting tab and replacing that word with the correct one. To do a strikethrough, you need to use the strike HTML tag. Right before the misspelled word, type "<" then the word "strike" then ">." Directly after the word, type "<" then "/" then "strike" then ">."

If you are aren't familiar with HTML tags, the beginning tag is this: type "<" then the keyword (such as strike in the previous example) then ">."
The ending tag (which should always go after a beginning tag in HTML rules) is this: type "<" then "/" then the same keyword then ">."

For additional information about the strikethrough and HTML tags see here.
