How to Embed Audio in HTML

Choose an audio file. You can use an mp3 or .wav file. If you do not have an audio file, make one using any one of the freeware or shareware programs available on the Web.
Upload the audio file to your webserver. Select the file to play on your website and make sure it is in the same directory as your website. To play an audio file on a blog that is hosted on a different server, upload the audio file to a free Web hosting company.
Embed the audio file. Copy and paste the following code onto your website:
Replace the 'myaudio.mp3' with the name of your audio file. Keep the quotation marks. This not only embeds the audio, but also creates a player that allows you to turn the audio on and off.
Embed the audio file onto your blog. Change the file name in the code to the complete URL where the audio file is located. For example, using the following:
Change the name of 'myaudio.mp3' to the full URL address where your mp3 is located. The embed code will create a music player.
Adjust volume, height and width settings to match your blog or website. A width setting of '144' is recommended.

How to Post Images on Internet Message Boards

Locate the image on the computer hard drive that is to be posted.
Host the image that is to be posted. There are many image hosting services on the Internet (see resources) that can accomplish this task. Follow the steps on the hosting site that was chosen and upload the image.
Obtain the source address for the image. Once the image is hosted it now has a source address. The source address is the images location on the host server. A source address appears similar to an Internet site address with one exception there is no www in the source address.
Insert the source address inside image markup tags. Markup tags are what enable the blogs and message boards to differentiate the image from regular typed text. An example of these tags is between the following quotation marks '
.' Be sure to eliminate the spaces between '

How to Transfer Domain Names to Another Hosting Company

Create an account with the registrar where you intend to transfer the domain name. Login to the account and under the ''Administrative Settings' you will find a link that says 'Transfer Domain.' Click on that then enter the domain name and click 'Ok.'
Login to the account where the domain name is currently hosted and double check to see that the administrative contact email is correct. Go to the administration section and check that the domain you wish to transfer is 'Unlocked' and 'Active.' It will also need to be more than 60 days old. The new registrar will send an email requesting that the domain be transferred along with a link to verify and approve the transfer.
Open up the email and click on the link in order to approve the transfer. The new registrar will notify the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and the domain will be transferred to the new registrar in five to seven days.

How to Write a Party Host a Thank You Letter

Send a handwritten thank you letter instead of calling on the phone or sending an email. Not only does a formal letter help you follow proper etiquette and express everything you want to say, but it can also become a keepsake for the person who threw you the party.
Thank the person for all of her hard work and for opening her home to guests if she hosted the party in her home. Acknowledge how much time it must have taken to prepare the elements for the party, such as the invitations, food, games and entertainment.
Discuss the most memorable moment from the party. It can be a conversation that touched you, a mishap that made you laugh or a discussion or tip that taught you something new. If you're having trouble coming up with something, stop and think about the party, then write about the first thing that came to mind.
Suggest getting together so you can take her to lunch as another way of saying, 'thank you' and so you can reminisce about the party in even greater detail. Also mention that you can't wait to throw a party in her honor if you intend to reciprocate the gesture in the future.

How to Change Hosting Services Without Losing Email Information

Start a new account with the web hosting service of your choice, but do not close your account with your current host. Otherwise, you risk permanently losing your website and email information.
Make a note of every email account hosted on your website. Write down each email address–and password if you want to keep them the same–or type them in a file and save the file. Keep this information private so that no one can access your email accounts without your permission.
Back up your website. Access the backup tool on your user panel with your current hosting service and select the options necessary to do a complete site backup, rather than any kind of partial backup. Save the resulting file on your computer.
Access the backup tool on your user panel with your new hosting service. Select the option to upload a complete site backup. Find your site backup, upload it and select the option to complete the backup upload process.
Create all the same email accounts you have on your current server on your new server. Use the passwords you saved in step 1 if you wish to keep them the same, or make up new passwords if you prefer. Be sure to use passwords that you will remember but that would be difficult for someone else to guess.
Close your account with your current hosting service.

How to Find Where a Web Site Is Hosted (5 Steps)

Do a 'whois' search. This is a search that shows you who has registered a domain. There are many sites that allow you to perform this search; see Resources for just a few examples. The site WhoIsHostingThis.com offers the simplest results; typing in a website address will yield the very simple result: 'xxx.com is hosted at xxx.com,' as seen in the image.
Read through the results of a more complex 'whois' search, such as one done through GoDaddy's 'whois' search. In the example in the image, Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. shows the website DesignLogicMedia.com is hosted at GoDaddy. The administrative and technical contacts show DomainsByProxy, meaning privacy restrictions were put into place to prevent the address and phone number from showing up and being available to spammers.
Call or e-mail the administrative or technical contact, if it is listed, for further information.
Go to the website itself as an alternate to, or in addition to, a 'whois' search. Often, the website will have information on where it is hosted. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you may see 'Hosted by' and the name of a company.
Contact the person listed as webmaster on the website itself. Depending on the circumstances, that person may be willing to offer you information.
