Is there a rule about putting my soundcloud in my signature, and how can I embed it, or should I just put an image and a link?

Thanks,

[url=(insert URL here)](Put name of link here(EG. My Soundcloud)[/url]

Just take out anything in ()'s and it should be fine. should come out like this:

Synagogue definition <== was what I had on my clipboard, don't judge me. ;)

As for rules, I don't think it should go against rules. As long as you're not making money on it, selling anything, or member poaching. I'm not sure what soundcloud is, but if im not mistaken it's a music thing? Should be fine if that's the case.

It is, they have an embed feature, and I was wondering if I could use that. It basically just offers the option to play the track if you click the play button.

Don't think that's possible here. We use BBCode, it's rather basic. Perhaps someone else will come along with a way to do it, but I don't imagine it's possible :p

just use (soundcloud)url of song or playlist(/soundcloud) with brackets and you're set
Unless your widget automatically plays music whenever someone opens a page that has your post or signature, it should be fine. I'm not particularly BBcode savvy, but I know you can embed widgets from other sites

Although there is no rule against using embeds in signature, we normally ask that signatures do not use excessive amounts of space -- and sundcloud uses plenty. If someone complains you will probably be asked to use a url instead...

Can it be buried in a spoiler?

it takes up some significant real estate on my device - and I imagine I'm not the only one.

If it it'll go in Spoiler tags you can have it accessible without being visible from the ISS.
