embedding+audio+wordpress

Wordpress has its own audio player so it is just a matter of linking the audio file by following these steps taken from[| Wordpress Audio Support]

For Podbean: Go to podbean.com To find the recording you created click on the tab along the top entitled, Publish a podcast. Now click on Manage near the top left hand corner (between Upload and Layout) Beside your recording look for the Embed Code link near the right hand side of the screen In the next window look for Show HTML Code using text link Copy the code in the box.

Now here's the tricky part:)

Open your Wordpress Blog and go to your dashboard Click on New Post Make sure HTML tab is selected not the Visual Tab (just above where you would write your post content) type [audio then paste the rest of the embed code here and close with] Delete everything in your embed code except for all the text after http:// so that your code now looks something like this

[audio http://edci336.podbean.com/mf/play/3nxmes/review.mp3]

Publish your post.

These are the instructions I followed at the Wordpress Support link (beside #1)

Yes, this is not seamless and not as easy as blogger. It appears that without a Space Upgrade Wordpress does not allow a simple copy and paste of code and does not even allow you to upload mp3. If this is too frustrating let me know just send me a link to your podcast it and I'll post it on the class wiki.
