How to embed mp3 files in a blog.
This is a response to a recent posting on the SLN Forum, which made me wonder how it could be done. A quick Google search led me to the Google Operating System weblog, which provided a solution.
I had a quick look at a few places for mp3 files relevant to Geography, and my first thought was to use one off Rob Chambers GeoBytes site.
So for a few days only, or until Rob tells me to get rid of the link ! This will connect through to the first one of Rob's Coastal podcasts: Energy at the Coast.
Your mp3 file could also be saved on a website, or a VLE or a Ning.

The code from the site was then added below to create (fingers crossed) a media player...



and, well flip me, it worked !

Change the external URL to the address of the particular file you want to play and that seems to work fine !
Another step forward !

Keep an eye out for the new podcasts shortly to appear on GeographyPages.

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
