Yahoo! Media Player Wordpress Plugin

To install:

1. unzip the file
2. drag the created folder it into: wp-content/plugins
3. activate the plugin from the ‘Plugins’ tab by selecting the ‘Yahoo! Media Player’
4. choose where the code should be placed (header or footer). placement in the footer may improve page load times, but may not work with certain themes.
5. change the version of the player through the ‘Yahoo! Media Player’ section under ‘Options’ (optional)
6. enter in your Amazon affiliate ID (optional)
7. add audio links to your page. for example, something like:
   <a href=”http://www.8bitkid.com/example1.mp3″>Link to Audio</a> (note: this is not an actual file, but just shows the format of a proper link)
8. the player will detect these audio links, render a play button next to the media, and include the media in the playlist
9. enjoy :-)
