Add Music To Any Post In 6 Easy Steps

A sure-fire way to enhance just about any post is to add music to it. I don’t mean some kind of MIDI auto-play thing ala 1989, I mean real music on demand, the kind anyone can get from grooveshark.

To see what I mean, take a quick look at one of my recent political commentary posts: Cheney To Obama: Don’t Blame Us Would that post have the same effect without the music? No stinking way! Adding BTO to a post is like Emeril Lagasse adding BAM to a sizzling sauce pan loaded with fresh-caught shrimp. By the way, I had dinner at Emeril’s in Orlando, Florida recently courtesy of Symantec. It was outstanding.

Not convinced yet? Here’s another recent post: A Nearly Perfect Quote From One Man’s Blog This post just wouldn’t be the same without John Mellencamp and his Uh Huh.

I try to add music whenever I feel like it’s relevant. It almost always is. If you’re running the Firefox noscript addon or something similar, allow scripts to run on this page. They’re safe on this site.

In 6 easy steps, here’s how you can do the same: You could technically skip the tinysong steps and go straight to grooveshark, but I included tinysong to show an easy way to create a shortened link to a song.

Step 1: Go to tinysong.com and type in the name of the song you’re looking for.

Step 2: Make your choice from the list of results

Step 3: Grab the link and paste it into your browser’s address bar

Step 4: Allow Grooveshark to load and click [Embed Song]

Step 5: Customize your widget

Step 6: Copy and Paste the code. Simple as that!
