PodCasting

- 9 o'clock report -

You know that I've been excited about Podcasting for the past couple of weeks. I have a lot of ideas. My behind-the-scenes work on getting a podcast technically working is a success! A feedster RSS feed with smartcasting turned on and pointed to this blogspot.com blog does the trick. Turning this option on from feedburner will convers my source blog feed into RSS 2.0 format with appropriate elements of the audio links as long as the the audio links at the beginning of the posting.

I can post more details if you'd like.

Ok, to get my PodCasts, you point your podding software to my feed:

I tested this in iPodder tonight. It worked great!

Right now the only podcast download is of a song I'm writing at the myvirtualband.com website. The podcast is me playing some guitars and the songs structure that I wrote. No vocals yet.

Future podcast from this site will be more interesting with me chatting up a storm about my songs. I'm also going to line up some interviews this year so stay turn and subscribe to my RSS podcast feed!

That's what I'm talkin' about!
