Adding Sound

READ THIS first.

Sound can be tricky. First you must find the sound. For instance, you may find the sound clip you want at CDNOW. Once you have found the clip, play it in Windows Media format. While it is playing, click on File and click on properties to find the URL of the sound clip. Highlight the entire URL of the clip you are listening to. It will be long. Then use that copied URL with the appropriate tag below. Place this code at top of page under the BODY Tag.
