Can I imbed an audio file in my blog posts?

You have to record it using a media program like in Windows and save it as an mp3. Edit your blog and add an audio block and then upload the file or link it to a file. Here is an example of an embedded audio file in a 7.0 site that works the same for 7.1

Right,  so I can add an audio block to the site itself just fine. But when I go to the "edit section" menu of an actual blog post, I do not see an option to add audio blocks. I've attached a screenshot of the menu. Blog posts seem to have more limited options than a regular page. Am I missing something?

Audio files are added to blog pages  like any other page as a block, but the add mode is a bit different. Edit a blog page and hover over a text bock or in a blog section until the + sign shows up at the top and bottom of a blue box. This is an insert point  Click on one of those signs and add a block panel will appear  and an audio block will be one of the choices
