Hi Everyone!

I know I said I would be working on an ebook entitled” The Easy, The Hard & The Impossible” about the Sociable, About Me 3000, and Share This WordPress plugins, but I got sidetracked today. Do any of you get sidetracked?

Someone asked me today if I knew how to podcast. I replied that I’d been wanting to learn. To be honest, part of me is scared. I don’t have an iPod, my husband does. I had iTunes installed on my computer but uninstalled it because I never used it. Never one to let technology beat me, I plunged right in.

First, I decided I should figure out exactly what a podcast was, yep, that’s where I was. Wikipedia had an excellent article on podcasting. Basically, podcasting is different from a plain mp3 file because it can be delivered by RSS.

A sidenote here: RSS is handy if you want to avoid email spam, but it doesn’t have the intimacy that having something delivered to your inbox does. RSS is read through a web browser, for those of you who were once like me and had no clue.

So, now I’m working with two WordPress plugins to insert podcasts into blogs. I have to say, it is one of the harder plugin functions I’ve investigated. First, I’ll learn podPress (Mighty Seek) and then I’ll graduate to Blubrry Power Press. Power Press is an upgrade from podPress.

I hope I’ve provided some useful information here. There will definitely be more to come!
