  Will you please provide the code between backticks so we can examine it here in this forum thread?

  The backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ‘ is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~ on most keyboards.

  Hello rockthecasbah,
  That URL (http://8tracks.com/mixes/1732174) points to a mix that hasn’t yet been published. A mix must be published before you can share it or embed it anywhere. Make sure it has at least 8 tracks and then press the green Publish button at the top of the page.

  Regards,

  Matthew
