I don't quite get the idea of using the RadioBlog, I've been to their actual site, and the RadioBlog Xanga. http://www.xanga.com/radioblog, but the terms and words a little confusing considering my vocabulary is slow and .. well small, I'm only 13 lol. Anyone wanna help translate it? thanks.

03.How To
---------

Translation.

1. Install Radio.Blog.
- After you've downloaded the Radio.Blog from http://radioblogclub.com (http://radioblogclub.com/), open your FTP and make a folder on your site for your radio.blog. find your radio.blog on your computer and upload the folders "radio.blog" and "create sound" to the folder you just create on your site.
- Open the file config.xml (from the folder "radio.blog") and edit the style to your desire. (if you've edited it on your computer, dont forget to save it and upload it to the correct place on your site)

2. Creat a SWF Sound.
- Find your mp3 song file on your computer and right-click to copy it. go back to your radio.blog on your computer and double click on the folder "create sound" to open it, then right-click and paste your mp3 file to an empty space.
- Double-click on convert64.bat. a black window will pop up and your mp3's name will be in it. this window is making the mp3 file size smaller and converting it from an mp3 to an rbs (radio blog sound) file, but no harm is being done to it. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW. on the bottom right hand corner of the window it says "ETA 0:20" - thats just a countdown telling you how many seconds left until the window closes. so wait a few seconds until it does.
- Double-click on the sounds folder. there you will see your mp3 converted to an RBS file and the size is much smaller. click on your file and upload it to your site. (upload it to the folder named "sounds" in your "radio.blog" folder on your site.

3. How To include radio.blog in my webpage:
- Insert this code in to the page you want your radio.blog to show on:
<iframe src="/radio.blog/index.php" name="radio" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="222" height="300"></iframe> (edit the bold to the correct location of your radio.blog.
- if you want a song to start the minute someone enters your pg without having to click on anything add ?autoplay=# infront of your url, so for example if you wanted to autostart track number 2 your code would look like this: <iframe src="http://www.domain.com/radio.blog/?autoplay=2" name="radio" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="222" height="300"></iframe>

you dont really have to do number 4 unless you want it to be shown on the radioblogclub.com website's profile.

I hope that helped :)
