Added a Music Widget to the Ol' Blog

Hey folks,

I added a music widget to the blog to feature the songs we discuss during media integration as well as a few other songs that I've come to find handy in my teaching.

Just thought it would add something new to the mix here on the blog. Let me know what you think.

Dan, WDL
