If you are having problems with your podcast...

If you are having trouble getting your podcast to work, here are some ways to troubleshoot:

1. Make sure that your new feed (i.e. the RSS feed you burned in FeedBurner) is enabled in Blogger. To do this:
a. Go to the Settings tab in your blog.
b. Click on the link for Site Feed.
c. Go to "Post Feed Redirect URL"box and enter the URL for the RSS feed you burned in FeedBurner. Click on Save Settings button.
This will then allow for the podcast to be syndicated.

2. Another possibility is the filename for your MP3. Double-check the filename and make sure that your MP3 has the same filename in your \\main directory and in the link field when you post it to the blog.

3. Make sure that your URLs are all correct -- that there are colons where colons need to be, that your filename is the same as your file in the \\main directory, and that all URLs are the same (i.e. same URL in the "Link" box underneath the Title box in the blog post AND in the enclosure link below).

If you are still having trouble, please come see me. Just email me or stop by the Reference Desk and ask for Kate.
