Telling more about you is one of the most common objectives of a blog. What’s more personal than musical tastes? You could write about your favorite artists, but there is a great way to share your musical tastes: Last.fm. Once signed up, Last.fm will keep track of the songs you play on your computer or on your iPod, and let you share them with the world. You can use the Last.fm scrobbler to do this, but many third party applications also pick up your musical tastes. Personaly I like Cover Sutra, which allows you to control iTunes, display album art, rate your songs, and last but not least scrobble your songs and report them to Last.fm.

Adding your musical tastes on your Wordpress or RapidWeaver site

A pictorial is better than words, so here it is, a quick how-to guide to publishing a Last.fm widget on your website.

You can paste the widget on any html or styled page on RapidWeaver, or choose to paste it in the sidebar. The process is similar for Wordpress. If you choose to put the widget in your sidebar, you should choose a vertical format. Below you can see the horizontal format. Needless to say that it updates live as more songs get scrobbled.
