This was a great exercise for me. I have often wanted to create an audio or video clip but have not. Whether there was not enough time, confidence or expertise, bringing this type of recording into my teaching or leadership repertoire is just something I have not done. I found that the recording function on Anchor.fm was easy to activate and use. Once saved the file easily embedded into the blog post using the Add Media button. Using SoundCloud was also straight forward. As there was no recording option that I could see, I uploaded the same file I had recorded on Anchor.fm. Embedding the SoundCloud file was even more simple than with Anchor.
The track that is shared between these two platforms is the reading of the final paragraph of chapter 1 in Bob Goff’s book Love Does. https://lovedoesstore.org/collections/love-does/products/love-does-softcover-unsigned

Hello Ryan,
Hope you are doing great !! So sorry for replying to your post at this late hour . I got some time tonight to read through all of the posts . It was great to listen to your audio !! I have been trying my best to go through the orientation and it was quiet challenging as i am new to online earning . I tried to record in anchor ,but I couldn’t upload the audio like how you have done . I was wondering why wasn’t me able to get it embedded directly instead of copying the URL into the post . Did you do something different or was it easy for you to upload ? I hope I will be able to figure out too…
Hi Georgeena,
It is a great learning process. I think that I downloaded the file onto my computer, then I used the add media button in WordPress to place the file into the post.
Good luck!
Ryan
