Apologies if this posting appears in the wrong Forum, I haven't been able to find a suitable place to ask my question.

I am inspired to improve my cache pages having spent some time surfing around several, as one does, and come across lovely drawings, backgrounds and even music.

I have managed to work out how to add a background image, but I haven't been able to add music, I have two problems, one I don't have my own website, and presume I would need somewhere that could host the files, secondly what code would I use to imbed the file. I did read somewhere that at one time there were going to investigations to see if images could be stored on Geox - any news on this. And any ideas on improving my cache pages would be welcome.

Well once you've found somewhere to upload your music or pics to add this line which I noticed on Billy Twigger"s page "The Warriors"
<bgsound src="http://premium.uploadit.org/btwigger/Grandstand.mid" loop="5">
Changing... premium.uploadit.org/btwigger to where you store your music, and the title.... Grandstand.mid to whatever yours is called,
finally if you want the music to loop a certain number of times change the 5.


BT put this in his Short Description section

and hopefully all will be well.

Don't do the music thing, I implore you. There are fewer things more intrusive and irritating than someone else's taste in music suddenly and unexpectedly spurting out of your speakers. Leave it as an option.

Thumbsup ok point taken. I must admit after reading the first paragraph of the description I go for the mute button myself, but I did find Billy Twiggers choice for Capt. Sparrow's Treasure and The Warriors very amusing, albeit briefly !

When I picked up Haggis Hunter's The EGGJector I really liked it.
