    Hi Greg,
    Welcome to the FF Nation! Always glad to have another NY Firefighter join us on the site. I had agood friend in college at Cobleskill, that grew up in Argyle. Unfortunately he passed away very young in life. His name was Steve Wicks, did you ever know of him? Sounds like we walk the same path - I'm a Custodian for Burnt Hills Schools presently working the 3 - 11 shift as well. Have a good week, the warmer weather of spring has to be getting closer to us. Stay Safe. Pete

    Hey Greg,
    Welcome to the nation. Good to see you on here. I'm always bugging the girls asking when they'll get you, their father, Betsy and Ken on here. Stay safe.

    Hey Greg, I noticed you asked Jenn how to add music. I only know how to add songs to your page that others have on theirs. To do that, you'll see a little red arrow pointing upward on the toolbar below the song that's playing. Click that and it'll open a little menu where you can click "add to playlist". Then it's on your page. I just recently figured that out myself.

    Hey, what Eric said is the only way I've been able to add music. There is another way I just haven't been able to figure it out. I tried going to add music then it says you can either get it from your computer or if you look down a little on that page it should say something about mp3 then click on more info and you should be able to take URL address from like a youtube video but every time I've tried that the music won't play.
