Video Podcasting Update - a podcast by Peter Zimmerman

Well, I figured out what I was doing wrong on Blogger.
You know where I found the answer at?

Blogger.

I love the new trend of websites to have faqs and blogs.
(A blog about blogging within the blog's website here on Blogger. It's very... miniature russian doll-esque, isn't it? Or veryCharlie Kaufman.)

In any case, the solution to my whole puzzle was that I was over-thinking the problem. I was trying to alter code myself and get this thing to work, where Blogger had the solution built in for about a year and a half or so.

Go tothis page.

This guy who wrote the post (Also named Pete, but not me.) says:
"To turn on enclosure links, just go to Settings>Formatting and set the “Show Link fields” option to “Yes.” This will add the enclosure link fields to your post editor. From there, just paste in the URLs of your recorded media, and your blog will instantly become a podcast."

I think it's pretty straight forward.

I tried out his fix (Hesitantly, because a million different things were going through my head. I'd already thought there would be some restriction from my college's website that they had allotted for me or that I'd messed up the code on the RSS or that the converter I used to switch the WMV to MP4 was glitchy and hated blogger and on and on...)
And a few minutes after I tried the fix, my posts showed up on iTunes!

Wow! Happy days.
I didn't have to shell any money out to contact psychics or to bribe my classmates or anything. (Which is good, because as I've said before, I'mmonetarily challenged.)

Oh, and if you want to use that media conversion tool to convert WMV to MP4, it's located atwww.media-convert.com
It looks kind of sketchy, but it works fine.

Anyway, happy podcasting to all of you.

Now i'm off to philosophy class and a discussion ofOld Dead Dudes.

Further episodes of I am a person and I am probably going to spontaneously combust.
