What is a URL & How to get them.
This is nothing to do with modding. But I am sick of people requesting me for URL. So here you go :
What is a URL ?
www.google.com << that is the URL of Google
In fancy terms:
URL is the Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.
Now the main reason we spacers care about URL, is to put music or other files on the media player or into your blogs.
- First it is recommended that you get the media file on your computer.
- It must be in either of these formats : WMA, WMV, WAV, AVI, MPG, MPEG, MP3 .
If not , Click here to download an encoder and convert the media file into any of the ones above. Encoders can also be used to reduces your file size this greatly improves your media loading time. I use Poikosoft.
Now click here to see a bunch of hosting places. You need to host your files online so others can access it. Them merely sitting on your hard disk wont help.
- Select a Hosting service.
- Sign up.
- Upload your media file.
- After the upload is complete , Go to the place where it was uploaded. Usually its in places like , 'My Files' , 'My Folder' etc.
- Now you will see the uploaded media as links in your hosting service account.
- Right click the uploaded media file link & Select ' copy shortcut '[Internet Explorer] or ' copy link location' [Firefox]
Now paste this link into the place where they ask you for on the media player or any place where its asked in any of my tutorials concerning media files.
Click Save/publish entry.
Done !!
