I'd really like to tell my own story that's already been published (sadly I don't currently have a pooter that has the ability to let me record it, but one day, eh?).

But I can't see how to go about doing it. I even did a Search! Are you impressed? But I couldn't find anything that tells me what kind file, or how to go about getting it attached to my story.

Thank you in advance of (hoped for) answers!

Hi, Daisy. All you need to do is record your story in mp3 format, email it as an attachment to lisa@storiesspace.com and I'll add it to your story. When you submit a story and check the audio box on the submission page it gives instructions there, but you wouldn't have seen that because you didn't originally send it in as an audio story.

A pooter? Btw, what most people use is a free program called Audacity...

Audacity® is free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

If you have any questions, let me know...didn't say I'd have an answer, but let me know anyway...

Btw...a "pooter"...isn't that one of these?
I once knew a drinker who had a moderating problem...

Thank you, Lisa!

And thank you, DirtyMartini. I will have a look, but I don;t know if my pooter can cope with another programme, and I doubt it actually has a thingy for a microphone (which I also don't have). My last pooter was ace, but it died.

The picture you have posted of a pooter might be a pooter in your world, but a pooter in my world is a heavy box-like contraption that acts like a constipated bowel and renders the internet a slow seepage of loose stool as it tries to make it's way through the blockages to my screen.

And aren't you glad I don't have a picture of that?

Oh, Miss Shy Person...I think I may have figured out what a pooter might be after all...and assuming your pooter was made within the last twenty years or so, it should have a microphone thingy...

Of course, not having a microphone to plug into the thingy could still present a problem...

...and I've found that just shouting into that little hole doesn't work either..

I LOVE that pooter! This is an old laptop. Like the old brick-type mobiles, but a laptop. I have discovered what I THINK is a hole for the mic, but... I don't have a mic. So you are all currently spared my northern accent and silly voices.
