Thank you Mary Ellen for your very constructive criticism
I had been warned by folk such as Ed Mullen that having a background sound that started playing automatically was bad form as the visitor to my page could well be listening at night and the sudden burst of music could awaken the wife for example.I started experimenting with how to control this but initially had a problem making it work properly
Spurred by you I have tried again and now understand what needs to be done. So Thanks again.If you revisit my Ringmasters page you should now find (I hope) a small Windows Media Player built in to the page with start and stop buttons.
Now I have succeeded with this revision I must get on with my long-planned thorough revamp of the whole webring set up. I will post again when that is done
I see your name Mary Ellen is a very pleasant grouping of two christian names. I don't suppose your surname is Carter (my mother was born Margaret Ellen Carter) but it reminded me of the great Stan Rogers song "The Mary Ellen Carter". Anyone who has not heard this may hear a
30 second clip on amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000003BTX/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/002 -2580726-3299235#product-details
