[paid members only] Embedding background music (Midi/Wav/Mp3) in your journal


Designed for Paid Accounts
For paid members, you will need to create your own journal style and merely include the HTML code.


You will need to apply this code anywhere between the <body> </body> tags of the HTML structure. In this example, it's done directly following the <BODY> tag of the standard Generator style while editing inside the LASTN_PAGE section

<body bgcolor="%%color:strong_back%%" text="%%color:page_text%%" link="%%color:page_link%%" vlink="%%color:page_vlink%%" alink="%%color:page_alink%%">
<bgsound src="http://www.example.com/useraccount/soundfile.mid" loop=1></bgsound>
.
.
.
.


www.example.com = web address of your webhosting site
useraccount = name of your account (not applicable to everyone)
soundfile.mid = name of the soundfile (can also be wavs and mp3s files)
loop = n-times/infinite, n-times = play n times before stopping, infinite = continuous


The <bgsound> tag is not supported by all browsers, and so some people may not be able to hear the background music when visiting your journal.

Storage of Media File
In order to be able to have the music play in the background, you will need to upload the song/music to a website that allows remote loading. If you're wondering what remote loading is, please check out the LiveJournal FAQ: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=130
