Add MP3 files to your blog post

No every browser accepts HTML 5 <audio> tag. But majority of them do. This <audio> tag allows us to upload and play MP3 files without a Flash player.

Oh, there is a storage limit for uploading your files. 100 MB per site and 20 MB per file. Please refer to Storage and file limits
