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!

My Website

My website, at http://airplaneguru.angelfire.com/, is up and renovated with color from the website http://dev.sessions.edu/ilu/ilu_1.html. Check it out!

You may have questions on how I got some neat things on my website, if so, comment below and I will reply as soon as I can (I haven't had any comments on my blog yet).

Statcounter

I just found out that someone from Maryland, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Sydney, Australia visited this site! I signed up for a free website tracker a couple weeks ago called Statcounter and it told me that! It also said that 3 of them looked at my Poptropica post, and 1 of them looked at my HTML strikethrough post.

Poptropica

Poptropica is an online group of free, fun quest-like games. Before playing the games (also called islands), you make an avatar and you can save the game as you go along. My favorite island is Spy island. The creators place the islands online as they make them. The newest island is Nabooti Island, and the designers are going to release Big Nate Island soon.

A couple days ago, the creators announced they would release a brand-new island, Astroknights, this spring!

The Poptropica creator's blog is here.

Here is an video introduction to Poptropica:



Here is another new Poptropica tour:

Woot

I'd like to tell you about an online shopping site I look at. It is Woot, and it sells low priced, creative electronics. It sells one per day until they are sold out. It has a blog too, and it hosts contests. Some of the things on this recent contest are pretty funny!
