How to post using FileFactory

Here are instructions for anyone that wants to post tracks on the blog using the technotransmission Filefactory account... (EDIT: most of this info below is unnecessarily detailed... james has just discovered that the process is much simpler - see comments at the bottom. we're on a learning curve.)

(can we do this better with soundcloud perhaps? filefactory is hideous, but private at least.)

Go to http://www.filefactory.com/
sign in as:technotransmisson@gmail.com
password: technopassword

Here you upload files. You can create your own folder, or just upload to MUSIC folder. You can upload multiple files.

When your uploads have finished, click: TOOLS (top) and then: MUSIC PLAYER.

YOU MUST CREATE A FRESH PLAYLIST>

Press next>


(Change the layout/player settings and preview if you want to.)


Press next>


GENERATE THE HTML CODE> press the Green button and then the HTML code will appear.


You can then paste this code into the BLOG as a new post. DONE. (If you want you can edit the sidebar Techno Transmissions LIBRARY - using CONFIGURE (top of page) and then edit Gadget tools) There are issues with sizing when you do this, but trial and error, and a little examination of the HTML code that you paste (use WIDTH 250) will soon fix it (see techno transmission library to the right).

Get it? Got it? Good.

  5. hey!! nice one. saves a lot of hassle. i suppose you should mention it in the main blog if you wanted to give it some fanfare. i like that: "optional fanfare".

  9. Really funny that, I was trying to create a techno transmission gmail account last week and technotransmission@gmail.com was taken, and so I gave up pretty easily. Then you popped up and did your seriously awesome work, and then I though oh shit man Ian was that dick who took it, what a dude! and now it wasnt you cus there's a typo, and so now I don't know who it is...
