Would like to be able to play them from my web site rather than send people off to iTunes.<br /><br />Yeah, I wondered about the copyright thing, especially when I saw photos with watermarks. It is hard to be sure what is okay and what is not. I haven't added any images that don't belong to me, but of course am pinning them from others and it's not always clear where they came from.Sharon Lynn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-40108284052576957662012-05-11T11:09:22.533-06:002012-05-11T11:09:22.533-06:00Thanks so much, Barbara!

When I click the link it goes to basically an empty page, and a dialog pops up saying Chrome needs to launch an application to continue. What browser are you using? Also if you have iTunes you can just search for the title in the store.

I do like to use visuals - my blog started off as just someone to post all the images to go with my stories, but... I have trouble enough keeping on what I have. :-P I do like to see what influences other authors use though.<br />I use Grooveshark which works a similar way - you can have a widget with a whole playlist, or code to embed each track separately. I have a multiplay widget on the side of my blog with my favourite tracks, and the upcoming blog post has the little individual ones, each with an explanation and/or the lyrics that say why each piece was chosen. :)Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-63010562330628761212012-05-11T10:38:57.759-06:002012-05-11T10:38:57.759-06:00Thank you, Laurie!

But Kat generously offered to repost in October. <br /><br />I have been reminding folks it's available for preorder. I don't understand why Amazon and B&N don't allow preordering of digital versions. I would think they lose sales that way. People can go buy and then forget about it, and it would automatically download to their device when it's available. Currently if they want the digital version they have to wait, risking forgetting about it. I suppose I should send them some feedback about that (unless anyone knows a reason they don't do this?).Sharon Lynn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-52697666604810300362012-05-11T10:33:38.351-06:002012-05-11T10:33:38.351-06:00Thanks, Pippa!

Are you using iTunes or something else? iTunes used to provide code so you could embed the list on your site. Bummed they don't do that anymore. It was buggy - maybe that's why they quit. <br /><br />I know what you mean about social media. When a friend of mine told me about this I thought I need it like a hole in the head. I was right - is TOO easy to get sucked into. But the nice thing is it's not something you have to stay on top of - it's just there. <br /><br />I decided to try it when social media maven Kristen Lamb mentioned in an interview how easy it is to use, and that it's great for fueling creativity. My muse draws on visuals A LOT. It didn't occur to me until I started playing around with it that it could be a fun and fresh form of marketing. I love being able to share what I think my characters and world look like.Sharon Lynn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-49433400898046968262012-05-11T09:34:48.287-06:002012-05-11T09:34:48.287-06:00Awesome!
