Hi Michael, Well, I tried the short code and just couldn't get it to work. this is the code I entered into my post:
[audio dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2281930/WordPress/podcasts/LooktelMoneyReader.mp3] I use that same url as a link field from within the post and it works, but the audio short code doesn't seem to want to go, at least, I don't find the audio player anywhere in my post, neither do I get any error messages when uploading the post containing the short code from Mars edit. Is there supposed to be a space between the short code and the url? That's the only possible error I can think of - the url is correct and I enclosed the whole thing in brackets []. Thanks for any help you can offer. .
