Is there a replay function,

Is there a replay function, so we can hear it before we post. Can it be erased and redone if necessary? I am still trying to figure thhis all out. Not having a working microphone on my computer, gotta get that fixed, this new feature sounds great, unless, it records when you're not ready or make a mistake. Help?

Lexie...

You can click the record button when you are ready; you can "start over" while you are recording or, even, afterward. You can record, upload and listen before you save and if you don't like, remove and start over. You can save, have second thoughts and then edit and remove and do it again.

Worry not.

hope that helps....

P.S. if mic doesn't work, get an inexpensive one at Staples or the like...

Have to wait on getting a new

Have to wait on getting a new mic......Mom has enough to deal with at the moment.

I'm glad I can redo, and redo my start overs.

I will try it tomorrow.

Does it do the same if I decide to record one of my songs I wrote? I mean, I might sing my lyrics fine (I think), but depending on if I am on the piano (easier to sing and play at the same time), or playing the guitar or ukelele (not so).

Or should I just stick to my non-musical writings?

Sweet!

I have been WAITING for this love button. 

A question: I like to do a fair amount of audio editing on my (occaisional) podcasts... We will still also be able to just upload them, right?

I'm not trying to ruin anybody's life. Sometimes I'm just really, really bad at doing people favors.

Six Word Short Story Feature

I was wondering what happened to the 6 word short story feature...

I really like that little box, and I wanted to ask about it, so I posted here.

So what happened to it?
