To publish audio on your blog,first you have to find a place to host your files. Some of them allow you only to create a link to copy on your blog, some others are much more complete and they let you both copy the link or create a player to embed on your blog, which is much nicer.
To have a link, you can host your file in many hosting places, such as Box.net or FileFactory.com. You just have to upload the file and then copy the link they give you.
There are not so many places where you can upload your audio file and have your player embeded now. Some which used to be quite good are now under construction (such as GoEar and BooMp3), but finally I have found one I like, which is http://www.esnips.com. This is a good hosting place for any kind of files, which also allows you to create nice widgets for your folder to have them on your blog too.
But today we are interested in audio (you may do some research on your own and see what other possibilities you have and find out what a widget is).
So, let's see how to do it. Go to http://www.esnips.com and sign up. Once you have signed up and signed in, you can create a folder -which you can customize- and upload the file. Click on examine to find the mp3 file in your computer, fill in the information you are required and click on upload file. Once the file has been uploaded, you have two options, either click on MP3 widget to embed a player on your blog, or click on share file, to copy the link or send it by email to someone. The first option is very nice, so we will click on MP3 widget and we will choose one of the widgets from the preview, we will customize it a little bit, if we want to, and finally we'll copy the embed code to paste it on a post in our blog.
You can have the text, the picture and the audio player in the same post or in different ones, that depends on how you like it best.
