It's time once again for another rousing round of Wormhole! What's Wormhole you ask? Well, click on the previous link for full details and games (extra info here and here).

This edition of Wormhole is gonna take things in a different direction. I'm going for the Slang Names of cities/areas in music. I'm thinking names like "Bed Stuy", "ATL", "Dirty South". It doesn't just relate to hip hop though, even names like Motor City or Beantown would suffice.

Follow my lead with Common's "Chi-City" to start things off. Listen, follow the lyrics and post a song where the wormhole takes you. You can post another Chicago related song, or branch off a element of lyrics or a sample, where ever it takes you, just make sure it name drops a city, region, or area in it's slang name.

If you know how to post a track in comments, read no further, if not, continue.

Here's a copy of dermahrk's instructions on how to imbed a song in comments (thanks dermahrk!):

Some things have gotten easier under the revamped MOG. I appreciate those things. Some things have gotten more difficult, and the main one for me has been attaching songs to a Comment. What used to be fairly easy has now gotten a bit more difficult because you not only have to copy the song, you now need to copy the player as well. Many moggers have been trading the code in comments (a BIG Thank You to WayDutch and Brand X) but unless you are reading those comments it may've escaped general notice. So I'm going to lay out the steps for posting a song in either the new OR OLD MOG player.

1) Start the comment

2) Open a new window, log onto MOG again in this window and start up a new post - the "phony" post which you will NOT publish. Using the usual method, download a track to your post. Make sure to correctly tag the artist/album/track info. You will see the code for this song in the posting window, surrounded by tildes (~), looking something like this: UoLq5ct6qjY.mp3

3) Now go back to your comment. Enter whatever text you want to precede your song. Now it's time to add the code necessary to put a player into the comment. To do this, first hit that little HTML button (in blue) at the top strip of the post. This will bring up the HTML window, which displays the actual code behind your post.

4) You will now need to copy the code for ONE OF the players (either step 6 or 8) to the bottom of that HTML window. I will give it to you to copy, but I suggest you copy and store it in a Word file / Notepad file or whatever is convenient for you to quickly recall and copy from. The player code below has had the carats (<>) removed from the beginning and end of the code so that it does not run in this post.

5) Here's the code for the new MOG "red button" player. Just highlight it, hold down the Cntl key and hit C to copy it:

6) embed src="/player_preview.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="transparent" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="MOGPlayerXXXXX" menu="true" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" class="MOGPlayer" flashvars="info=/l/XXXXX" style="height: 22px; width: 22px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="22" width="22"

7) Here's the code for the old MOG player, in two pieces. Copy both, then delete the space between the two:

8) div class="embedded" align="center" style="background:#000000; width:320; height:141">

MOGPlayer" wmode="transparent" style="height:122px;width:320px;" src="http://mog.com/player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="320" height="122" name="MOGPlayerXXXXXX" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="info=http://mog.com/l/XXXXX"/

10) Go back to the phony post that you started. Highlight the code for the song but avoid copying the tildes (~) (or copy, then delete them later). Remember, to copy hold down the Cntl key and hit C.

11) Now, find the two spots in the player code that are just multiple capital XXXXXes. Position your cursor directly in front of those XXXXes, hold down Cntl and hit V - to copy the song code in. Then delete the XXXXXes. Do this for both the XXXXX locations.

12) Hit the "Update" button on the lower left of the HTML screen. You should see a box with an "F" in it (for Flash player) in your comment. I would hit "Preview" to see if everything is working correctly, then hit "Publish".

13) Go back and cancel your "phony" post without publishing

FINAL note: I created this alternate identity, Q4 der mahrk, in order to provide some basic guidance or tips for Moggers. It is separate from dermahrk, my usual screen name, so if you find this kind of information useful you might want to "trust" Q4 der mahrk if that's how you filter your posts or receive e-mail notifications. Good luck!
