For Kelvin - How to add music to your blog (with thanks to Theo)

Alrightly, happen to stumble upon Kelvin's blog and he wanted to know how add music to his site. I am no SME (Subject Matter Expert, a term coined in Motorola) in blogging but with the help of Theo, I was able to add it to my site. Anyway, here it goes.

The first thing for you to do is to get a file-sharing or file-hosting website. For me, I am using Geocities Yahoo to load my music file.

Next, input these codes to your side bar, (please hightlight and copy the text instead of typing them, I believe some of the wordings are hidden by the sidebar, apologies)

(object
data="http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/xspf_player.swf?&autoplay=true&song_title=So Close - Hall and Oates&song_url=http://us.share.geocities.com/young_koon78/Hall_and_John_Oates_So_Close.mp3" width="220" height="20" type="application/x-shockwave-flash")
(param
value="http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/xspf_player.swf?&autoplay=true&song_title=So Close - Hall and Oates&song_url=http://us.share.geocities.com/young_koon78/Hall_and_John_Oates_So_Close.mp3" name="movie"/)
(/object)

Note :
1. Replace all the ( to < and ) to >
2. Replace all the bold title by your song title that you want
3. Replace all the italic url by your file-hosting url.

Hope that it works.
