Today, however, you have other options - some of you have been embedding YouTube videos in your blog posts. That works - but can also be distracting.
Here is one way to just share songs and playlists with your blog readers using Spotify.
You can share songs on Spotify (like this awesome Thelonius Monk tune):
Or you can share entire Spotify playlists (Like this playlist of highly recommended jazz tunage):
How do you do it? Follow these steps:
- Download and Install Spotify. Create an account (the basic account is free - supported by ads which may interrupt your music listening).
- Search for music that you like and create a playlist that you want to share.
- Right click [PC] or control click [Mac] on the name of your playlist and select "Publish" if it is not already checked.
- Right click [PC] or control click [Mac] on the name of your playlist and select "Copy Embed Code".
- Go to Blogger and create a new post. Go into "HTML" mode and paste the embed code.
- Preview your blog post. Look OK? Great - Click "Publish"!
CAVEAT: Your reader must have Spotify installed to listen to your playlist.
