Hi, thanks for all your good tips, Eric.
I just signed up to follow and I feel much better knowing I have someone to help when I need it. I appreciate it very much.
Oh, and I meant to ask that if I don't have any songs on my Player, does just having the player on my blog drain it? I love music but realize it slows my blog load time down really bad. So, I took the music off for the most part. Every now and then, I put a song on so I hate to delete my player.
Having it on your site still sequences a retrieve and load process by the browser. So although less songs may speed up the process it will still be draining your load speed. But Their is a solution to this. If you use the Hide/Show Contentbutton and set it to hide by default. Then you can stop this from loading when your blog loads. You could title the button as "Show Music Player" or something like that. This giving your users a choice to have the player opened. You could also use post the player in a blog post. Then link the player into a text or HTML gadget using Open Link In New Window Tweak.
