#spotify theme

footer

uploading your song:

i recommend using google drive to host your mp3 files - below is a brief explanation for how to do this but you can also see the resources provided here by glenthemes and more links on my credits page

to start you need an mp3 audio file, once you have the one you want go to google drive and click: ＋ New ➞ File upload

select your mp3 audio file and click open

open your newly uploaded audio file in google drive and click the three dots on the top right, then click Share and under General Access change it to Anyone with the link can view

copy the sharing link provided, it will look something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pBA6KdlLEzoEZPQ6hmaSr9LGLeCQGPxz/view?usp=sharing

go to the following site and paste your sharing url in the first box provided: https://www.joelgrayson.com/drive-download-link-generator

your final product should look something like this: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1pBA6KdlLEzoEZPQ6hmaSr9LGLeCQGPxz

make sure the music player is toggled on in the theme, paste your audio link in the Song URL field

notes:

the song will automatically repeat once it’s finished playing

if you choose the “toggle footer” option, the footer will disappear and a button will appear on the sidebar that allows you to show/hide the footer

the footer has links for random posts, archive, askbox, & home

if you toggle the music player off, the music info on the left side of the footer will be replaced by your blog icon, title, & url

your profile image is uploadable, 200px x 200px, & circular

there’s space for your name and 3 info stats with icons

the blog images’ size will adjust depending on your font size, the default is about 100px x 100px

links section:

up to 12 links

leave the section title field(s) empty if you want fewer links

up to 6 socials links

sidebar

image:

if you’ve uploaded a profile image this is what will show on your sidebar

if there’s no profile image uploaded, the sidebar img will be your blog’s icon

both images’ size will adjust depending on your font size, the default uploaded img is about 105px x 105px, the icon size is about 90px x 90px

notes:

the sidebar will scroll if it gets too long

i recommend keeping your description short and personally i think it looks better when it doesn’t scroll

the sidebar will disappear and become toggle-able if your browser window’s width gets too small
