Add Audio With Odeo
You can add another human dimension to your blog by including audio files so that people can hear your voice. For example, click here for an mp3 of me talking. It's an audio file I recorded using the free Odeo web service. You do need a microphone on your computer to do this, but that's all it takes. If you don't have a blog yet, please get yourself a free account at blogger or bloglines. Bloglines is nice because it also includes a "feed aggregator" which allows you to subscribe to blogs or other syndicated content. However, if you already have a Yahoo, Google, or MSN account, their home pages can also serve as feed aggregators, so in that case you might be better off with just a blogger.com account. I suppose these services also have their own blogging capability [blogger is actually owned by Google], so feel free to explore that possibility too.
