This one is a little clunky.
Podcasting or embedding audio is incredibly easy with Squarespace, but one niggling annoyance I've found is that once the audio is embedded, it's tough to link elsewhere. You can't, say, send a direct link to a friend in any simple way. And if you're shooting your posts to Tumblr, the audio embed simply won't show up.
Here's how I've been doing it. If you know a better way, please let me know!
1) After posting your audio, load the RSS feed for your page. If you don't know your rss feed, use this method. Copy and paste your feed into a new tab. You'll see a bunch of code.
2) Now, hit ctrl-f or cmd-f on a mac to find something on the page, then type in the extension of the audio (mp3 or m4v or whatever you uploaded). Use the first instance of it on the page. You should see something like
http://static.squarespace.com/static/....
Copy that.
2) Now, paste it into a new tab. It should begin playing your audio. That's it! You can now use this link on Tumblr, other social media sites, or to use as a bookmark directly to your content for indexing.
