[bubbleshare 154140]

This morning I stumbled upon the blog Edublogs Tutorials and found the directions for embedding a Bubbleshare. Yippee!

Steps:

  1. In Bubbleshare, click the My Albums button.
  2. Click the album you wish to embed to access it.
  3. Click the View Album button.
  4. In the Link to it box on the right, copy the provided link.

  1. Access the post in Edublogs.
  2. Click the Code tab of the editor.
  3. Paste the web address into the editor.
  4. Delete all the text except the number after the word album.
  5. Add the text bubbleshare at the beginning.
  6. Add brackets at the beginning and end.
    For example: http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/165781.b7b1206c180 would look like:

Refreshed and recharged after a holiday in Jamaica, I access my blog for the first time in several days to find that Mr. Farmer has added a new toy to Edublogs, a musical widget called SongSpots. A SongSpot is a customizable flash-player that streams a song of my choosing. If you don’t use Edublogs, no problem (as they would say in Jamaica). SongSpots is free to all and provides the code to embed a widget in your website, blog, social networking page, wiki, etc. The site is easy to use with options to search or browse for a tune. You’ll find my new widget in the left sidebar featuring a Reggae song, of course. What will you select for your SongSpot?
