Just wondering is it possible to post real audio files to blog for everyone else to hear?? If so How do I do it?
Ive got a really really funny real audio file to post and looking forward to share.

You have to have somewhere else to upload it, then you can link to it.

There's a special file format you can use for the linking that will make it streamable.

Does your ISP give you space for "a personal website"?

That would be a good place.

How big is the file? Maybe I can find someplace you can use.

Well, that lets out the free places I was thinking of.

I searched around. I found some places for posting MP3s, but not RealAudio. Most places don't allow "hotlinking," which you'd need to directly link to it from here.

Most of the places I found fell down on one of the requirements. If they allowed RealAudio they didn't allow hotlinking, or if they allowed hotlinking they only allowed files smaller than yours. Arrrgh.

I have 10 megs of space with my ISP I don't use. If you can't find anyplace else, I'll post it for you there.
