    Hi

    You dont have to type in the url address on the button.

    Buttons and menus are suppose to be short and sweet.

    The title of the button can be anything descriptive like "download","slapthem"
    etc. Then right click the button and enter the full url in the "link box".

    Or you can click on the hyperlink on the top toolbar [the globe and chain] and enter the url.

      http .. for all links ..

      yes use the http://www. in all of your linkings .. its the standard way ..

      and double click the button as zuriatman says and enter the url for your link that way ..

          You do not have a file named slapem.zip in your public_http folder. You DO have a file named slapem.mp3 there, which is why I'm listening to it right now. Change your link to http://www.bigmixtape.com/slapem.mp3

              You can leave it as an mp3 or zip it, it will down load a little faster if you zip it. To zip it you can use WinZip (google and download the trial version) or any other you may find. Once you install the zip program, right click on the mp3 file and choose zip. Then up load the zip as you did before, link to it and your done.

                Probably not worth zipping an mp3 file (considering the extra effort involved for the person who wants to grab it) because mp3s are pretty efficiently compressed already, from the original wav file.
