Tumblr MP3 Player
Anyone that knows me knows that the first thing I do with new technology is figure out how to make it play music. So it makes sense that a week-or-so in to my Tumblr blog, I would create an mp3 player for it. So here is my first stab at it. You can see it in action at the bottom of this blog.
To include it on your page, follow these directions:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Click Customize
- Click Theme
- Enable Custom HTML
- Copy the script code below:
6. Paste it before the closing head tag, like so:
7. Click “Save Changes”
That’s it! This will enable visitors to play back all your posts in most recent order. They can skip ahead, pause, and click on the link to go directly to the post page.
Please leave any feedback in the comments section. Thanks!
UPDATE : Added a bookmarklet version
UPDATE : Hack the player by passing parameters to it. Check out the hacks here. I’ll document all hacks in that post.
