Show notes
Here are links to the sites I mention in this show;
Blogger – a place to set up a blog if you don't already have one (free)
Feedburner – a site that will transmogrify your RSS feed so that it handles the “enclosures” that are crucial to podcasting (free)
Hey there. I have just listened to the number 6 podcast in the 101 series and am having a lot of trouble in making my mp3 file into an rss feed. If you could please e-mail me with some help that would be great!
Thanks!
Howdy!
sure thing. but first, some questions. what blogging software are you using? do you have the MP3 file posted somewhere on the Internet? if so, can you share the URL with me? with all those goodies, i can take a quick look and give you some ideas.

Hi again,
I have sorted out that part by joining feedburner. But I am having problems finding hosting for my mp3s. I was using ‘archive.org’ but it isn’t time effective (a curator has to listen through the mp3 file first before letting it onto the site). I may just continue using this but have tried to sift through the endless google results to ‘free webspace’ or ‘free podcasting webspace’.
Anyway, thanks for your willingness to help me!
P.s I am using blogger.com

The show notes in my Podcasting 101 Episode 5 includes a list of places you can host your MP3 file. A couple of them are free and several others are only $5/month. I took a look at your site and feed — looks like you’re really close.
Thanks Mike. I really appreciate your help and I’ll be staying subscribed to your podcast! I have had a look at some hosting sites and am considering prices compared with ‘##’gigabytes of space.
Thanks again for your help.
