Add Audio To Website Quickly

On August - 22 - 2007

First – Give Hammer something to groove to:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Adding some audio to your website is easy – and free! Though there are some companies that charge you to add this type of feature to your site by calling in a testimonial over the phone, having them host the file (with an associated hosting cost), send you code blah blah blah.

You can do it all yourself quickly. Here’s a streamlined solution.

First, download this file. Unzip it and you will see a folder called “audio”, just drop it in the root directory of your site. This is the streamlined version of some other systems out there, but you just want simple audio, not a ton of other features only available on certain platforms – so rest assured everything you need is there.

The code you use to embed the audio is in a txt file within the download. If you already have an mp3 you want played, drop it in the audio file. If you need to make one, then make one – record it on your computer or call your voicemail (if your v-mail is accessible by internet you can grab it there) or use any song you can ethically present.

After you have your audio file in that folder on you site, you just add the code to your website contained in the text file in the download. Yes, you can customize the player, just see the txt file.

Top Dozen Knox Articles

On August - 21 - 2007

Looking over my logs I’ve found the top dozen most popular articles I’ve posted (ratio of views/day) and have listed them below. Together they really do cover the purpose of this blog, so I guess I’m happy.

If you want to create a web app for your iPhone or port a current site that actually looks and behaves like an actual iPhone app, then look no further.

Two ways to build iPhone webapps:

  1. Code it with a template (here)
  2. Create iPhone websites via WordPress theme (oh-so-easy)

So, here I’ve built a template to help web developers create applications for the iPhone. Notice that it uses the Apple resource images for the ‘Home’ and ‘Contact’ button. Included are all the source files to make basic apps to interactive ones, with all the needed source files. Also within the template are instructions on how to incorporate other iPhone apps such as google maps and the media player. Tap-to-call is implemented easily as well – basically everything you want in order to make a nice functional site or to port an existing website. Read the rest of this entry »

Another Time-Suck Found

On August - 9 - 2007

Ok, while surfin’ I found a great time killer and thought I’d share it with you. I added a photo of me and a partner here to present this great diddy.

YouTube Preview Image

Create your own show at DanceSisterDance.com. You can decide, add some politicians or your boss. Found this originally to make a b-day card for my dad – mom sure giggled. After you make the vid it sends you a link for the hi-quality version.

Fixing iPhone Stuck Pixels

On August - 5 - 2007

You love your iPhone, but like me, you may have began to see some stuck pixels. Stuck pixels are not dead pixels – they’re stuck on a color and don’t refresh with screen redraws.

“Solutions” abound on the web to try to fix the stuck pixels on your iPhone but they are silly and uses an animated .gif to cycle through the various colors.

Though these work for standard LCD displays on actual computers, they don’t on the iPhone because the processor speed doesn’t allow the .gif to animate quickly enough to affect the display.

Frustrated with my one stuck pixel I made a file viewable on the iPhone that uses javascript to cycle the colors by actual hex color at a frequency needed to help out you iPhone users with this frustrating blemish.

iPhone users, click here to enter. Let it roll for a little while (expect some heat) and don’t worry about the display brightness dimmin’ over time, I made it refresh before the phone’s auto-brightness takes over. The repair window is sized for the iPhone. If the menu is in the way, just rotate it.

Though there is no guarantee this will work in YOUR case, it has mine and one colleague. If you find other solutions please let me know and I’ll get it exposed for the rest of us. ‘Til then, I hope this helps you.


If you have found this useful, could you consider buying me a cup of coffee?

  • Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines – Haiti Earthquake

    January - 20 - 2010

    Royal Caribbean wants you to see a completely different Haiti.  “Labadee” is what’s called a leased part of the island that the cruise line calls “private” and is one of the many places their tanning customers get to visit.  It’s in Haiti.  It’s 70 miles from the devastation at Port-au-Prince.

  • Connectivity Instigates Creativity, Creation?

    December - 30 - 2006

    Our brains are composed of millions of individual neurons which are not connected, but do have simple input/output devices, a basic firing mechanism allowing a neuron to connect with another, or a network of neurons. With this architecture we create, grow, interact, organize and participate in the world around us.
