There are several uses for embedding audio in your stories. The most common use is entertainment. Having a nice beat playing in the background of the page to enhance the content. You may also have language classes and want to teach correct pronunciations of words. Music teachers have also embedded audio to get a taste of different sounds around the world.

1. Log in to your site.
2. Upload your audio file as a Manila Gem.
• There are several allowable audio formats. Vist Apple's QuickTime site for more information.
3. Allow 3 tags under "Prefs", "Advanced", then "Legal Tags".
   • Put a check next to 'embed'
   • 'param'
   • 'object'
   • Submit your changes

1. Insert the following HTML code in your story. (If you are using the WYSIWYG editor in Internet Explorer or Netscape, make sure you click the option to view HTML source FIRST! Then check it back to the normal view before you submit your changes.) Change the value of the PARAM "src" to reflect the URL of your uploaded audio file (indicated in red below). You will want to put the same URL in the "src" section of the embed tag (indicated in green below). This code will allow both Windows and Macintosh users with Quicktime to enjoy the audio.
