experimenting with attaching audio file

First one:


The second version keeps breaking the post so... we'll see. Experimenting with ways to dictate my posts and have stuff you can play along with the post :) I could definitely just use an MP4 but where's the fun of that.

"Jay how did you do that" well I'm glad you asked. Here's a step by step within the blogger.com editor.

STEP 1:
Record your audio

STEP 2:
Upload your file to Google Drive

STEP 3:
Hit share, set it to anyone with link, & copy the link

STEP 4:
Go to your post, click on the "Compose view" button and switch it to "HTML view"

STEP 5:
Copy & paste the following into your code*:

<iframe frameborder="0" src="https://" width="100%">

*Hint: Whatever you've typed for the body of your post will show up <p>like this</p>. </p> marks the end of a paragraph, so insert that code after a </p> and before a <p>, which marks the start of a paragraph (I'm oversimplifying but). You can also just add your audio file, switch back to "Compose view" and add your text around it.


STEP 6:
Paste the link to your file in the src="https://" (between the quotes)

STEP 7:
THIS IS KEY. In the link, edit /view? to instead say /preview?

STEP 8:
alright that's kinda all. You can switch back to "Compose view" now and do whatever you gotta do.

When I go to the preview it doesn't play the file, but when I publish it does so. Don't assume you did something wrong just because the the preview's not working.

Anyways enjoy your audio blogging! Excited to see how all of my cool friends use this for dictation or music or other cool exciting things!!!!

Things I Liked In April 2026

We are so back with another list of things I liked this month, this time featuring a spinner! The idea is, you spin the spinner and are presented with a link to something I enjoyed. Kill some time, check out some neat stuff.  Everything has a link associated with it, so grab your board and get read to surf the web! Don't worry, I made sure they're not linking to any bullshit virus littered websites. The act of turning your joy into a list you're going to share with people really makes you think about how you spend your time. You spend a day reading and researching and engaging with art and come away with a handful of items to add to the list, but you spend a few hours doomscrolling and go "hm. Didn't add anything. Is this really how I want to spend my time?" Also, I'd go to put something on the list and stop to think "did I really engage fully with this? If my friend checks it out from my blog post and comes back with a conversation, will I be able to...

Something about Dune (1984). Or something.

     I'm 17 and I'm lying on the least comfortable couch in our house. It's firm and scratchy a nd not as long as I am tall , b ut it i s the couch at the foot of the bed my dad is dying in.        I haven't slept. I'm up on my phone, my brightness down , t rying not to wake my mom. Her alarm goes off intermittently throughout the night s o she can check on my dad's oxygen levels. I don't think she sleeps more than half an hour at a time. M y sister is in her bedroom above us. Hours before we had a conversation d eciding if we wanted to be in the house when he died. She planned to leave for our aunt's house in the morning.        M y phone. I'm reading a story online that someone wrote. I don't remember the details or where I could find it today. It's a h orror s tory set in a hospital. I'm new to the horror genre. I always thought I couldn't handle it b ut as I sat there working my way through the story, I...
