About Ken Ivey
Expertise
I've been developing websites for almost 20 years. If you have questions like these, I can help! Should I try this myself or hire a professional? What tools do I need? How do I sell products online? How do I make money with my website? Can I create a website without buying expensive software? How do I design a website FAST? How do I market my website? Is a BLOG a website? How do I put video on my website? What is website hosting? When will search engines find my website? OK, I've found a site I like - but now what? Can I make my website a subscription site?

Experience
I have over 20 years of practical experience with web-related issues, and some military computer training. I've worked for a computer manufacturer, and own a small technology company specializing in web-design, hosting, and internet media production. I am the webmaster of several sites, and e-newsletter editor for Rotary District 6760 which is comprised of 65 clubs throughout middle Tennessee.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say a diploma from a revered educational facility hangs on my wall, and perhaps someday it will. In reality, everything I know has been self-taught, much of it done so in the hallowed halls of that venerable institution called "The School of Hard Knocks". (I have taken courses at a local community college, and received military computer programming training as well.)

Subject: Dreamweaver

Question
I am trying to create a website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 for my sons hockey team. I was almost finished, when I noticed a mistake that I had to correct. I fixed it and then brought it back into Dreamweaver. I tried to embed a mp3 file; however, I was unable to accomplish this. Under the properties pallatte, it staes Format, and underneath this it lists a cell box. I haven't yet learned about Dreamweaver, but I will. However, I am trying to finish this site before the end of the season, and I'm running out of time. On the previous site, I was able to embed mp3 files without any problems. Like I said, now Icannot because I don't know what I did, but this porperties pallate has something else listed. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Answer
Hi Sean, thanks for the question.

If you create a simple hyperlink to the file, upon clicking, the user's browser will ask if they should download or play the file.  Easy!

There are a few different ways to embed media, so check these websites out:
