How do I change my site feed settings?

To enable or disable the site feed(s) for your blog, first go to the Settings | Site Feed tab.

Here, you'll have one simple option, where you can select how much of your content you want to syndicate. "Full" will put the entire content of each post in your site feed, while "Short" only includes an excerpt from the beginning of each post. The "None" option turns your site feed off entirely.
Basic site feed settings
That one site feed may be enough for you, but if you want some more options, click on the "Advanced Mode" link.

How do I post audio/music to my blog?

The Quick Answer

  • Choose whether to embed audio/music from a third-party site or to host your own (podcast).
  • To podcast, choose a host to store your audio files, then enable 'Link Fields' in your Settings | Formatting tab.
  • Use the link field to enclose audio files in your posts.
If you'd like to put music or audio on your blog, there are many options available to you. First you'll have to decide whether you want to host your own audio files or merely embed them from an existing third-party site.

Embedding music/audio from third-party sites

If you'd like to embed a playlist or functionality from a third-party music service such as Last.fm or Imeem, Blogger's layouts feature makes it easy.
  1. Visit your Template | Page Elements tab.
  2. Create a new widget by clicking "Add a Page Element."
  3. Choose the "HTML/Javascript" widget.
  4. Enter the HTML code provided by your third-party music service into the content window and click "Save Changes."
If you can't find the necessary code, you may have to contact your third-party music service. Feel free to position the page element wherever you'd like.
