Help with blogs on Yahoo! 360?

Is it possible to add music or .gif images to your blogs? If it is possible then how is it done? I already know how to put in a video.

Help with blogs on Yahoo! 360?
Yes to both questions.





For GIFS, there are two main methods but they require that your images are hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ), Fileden (http://www.fileden.com ), and Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ), as they allow hotlinking of files (meaning a direct link to the image on their servers):





1) Check out the 360 team post on dragging %26amp; dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha...


* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that's on it's own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image's full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).





2) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg....something similar to that) into a blog entry.


- Check the box next "View HTML source" box (on the upper right of your entry's space).


- Type in the HTML code:


%26lt;img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels"%26gt;


NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic's URL that they tell you to use...wouldn't want to violate their guidelines.


- Uncheck the "View HTML source" box to get back to the regular blog screen.


WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.


- Click "Save"


* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it's hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

best you can do is a video and you already know that.

you can put music in your blast by downloading at geocities and put the link in.
