make some noise!
by Julia Gilden
(11/14/96)

All-text Web sites were passé years ago. And even the best graphics may not be enough to give your page an edge these days. But sound is another story. A spoken "hello," a cut from your band's latest demo, or even a catchy little MIDI melody can add spice to any page.

Adding sound doesn't necessarily require a Ph.D. in HTML either. Making your site a noisemaker can be as simple as dropping a snippet of your voice on a page using a short piece of HTML code, or as complex as setting up a complete RealAudio Webcasting site--and everything in between.

We've collected all the info you need to start adding beeps, burps, and ballads to your pages, starting from the simplest (and least expensive) options and working our way up. Read--and listen--along, and you'll soon be ready to break your site's silence.
