One of the questions I am most often asked is how
to put music on a page. Here I'm gonna tell you how...
First, make sure you have the midi plug in
on your computer. If not, go to http://www.liveupdate.com.
It's a free player for midis, but this won't work if you can't play midis!
OK, here's the midi "No
Scrubs." If you click on the arrow, it will play for you.
Do you want it to play when your page opens?
Follow along...
Get a floppy
disc, or choose a place you can remember on your hard drive.
Right click
somewhere on the control bar above, until a menu pops up. Go to "Save
As" Save the midi onto your floppy disc. You will do that by selecting
"Save In" as 3 1/2" floppy (A), or the directory on
your hard drive that you have chosen, and file name as typing in
noscrubs
That is how you save a midi.
You can now save any midi you want from any midi site.
Now that you have your midi, how do
you get it on your page?
You have to do 2 things:
(1) Upload it into your
directory and (2) Refer to your midi in your html code.
You upload the midi into
your directory the same way that you upload an image. Each server, if you
are on a freeserver, has special instructions for how you load your own images into your directory
there. IF YOU CANNOT UPLOAD IMAGES, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD
MUSIC EITHER. You have to learn how to do this first. You can check out my
page of directions on
putting up images
If you've got your midi into
your directory, the last thing you have to do is refer to the midi in your html
code. Are you with me so far?
This is the html code
for the midi "No Scrubs" if you saved it as noscrubs.mid.
This goes at
the very top of your html code
section, which begins with <html> Look at your html code and see if you can
follow along. You put the midi in right after the word <head>
<html>
<head>
<bgsound src="noscrubs.mid" loop="-1">
<title>Welcome to Your
Page!</title>
</head>
Some
free servers require you to add the word "images" like this:
<html>
<head>
<bgsound src="images/noscrubs.mid" loop="-1">
<title>Welcome to Your
Page!</title>
</head>
You can now put in any midi you want onto
your page. Of course, you have to put in the name you saved your midi under to make
it work. GOOD LUCK!
