You can leave audio posts in your blog from any phone in the world. AudioBlogger is a Listenlab service offered in partnership with Blogger that allows you to record and post audio messages to your blog completely free. To get started, visit www.audioblogger.com.
You must have a blog at www.audioblogger.com in order to leave audio posts. Create one before continuing, if you don’t already have one. Follow these steps to get started posting audio messages to your blog:
-
Log in to www.audioblogger.com.
-
Type your Blogger userid and password. Your primary telephone number and pin will identify you in the future.
-
Call the U.S.-based telephone number 1-415-856-0205 (worldwide numbers soon to come). Enter your phone number and pin.
-
Create your AudioBlogger posting.
| Note | The number you call is not toll-free. You will incur toll charges, or you will be charged for the minutes used on mobile phones. Also, the service does not work with the beta version of Blogger. |
Each audio post can be 5 full minutes long. If you have some concern that the file size will be so great that people cannot download and listen to it, the good news is that the file size is about 1KB per minute that you are yacking away. So the maximum size of an audioblogger post is less than the size of most tiny graphic icons. If 5 minutes is not long enough, you can create a new post at the end of 5 minutes.
After you create an audio post, you see a link to your AudioBlogger post accompanied by an icon and time-stamp. Users can easily click the link and hear your post.
