Eureka! I have done it. I have finally created my Podcasts today.

Finally I have figured out how to create the RSS feeds. I was so happy today that I have understood clearly the concept of Podcasting. Thanks to my colleague Alan Pollock who explained everything clearly. I created 3 podcasts today tested them and they are working fine. Insha Allah I should be able to finish my assignment2 very soon now.

I have used List Garden to create RSS feeds. I felt it was not as easy as I thought it would be I had to specify so many things. Host directory, host file, local file on which it will write the XML file into and also the FTP location. When I made all these settings once, it was very easy I started adding items to the same RSS Feed.

Once I created the XML file. I added the orange icon on to my html file and linked my XML File to the orange icon and uploaded it to the server.

How do I create an RSS Feed? I am confused

Finally I submitted my assignment 1. I felt that was much easier compared to other assignments. Started working on my assignment 2. I have created MP3 files using Audacity. I don’t know how to create the RSS feeds. I have understood what an RSS feed is. I know it’s in XML format I can type and create one easily but still I am not sure how to create the orange Icon next to my MP3’s.

I checked KG for help there were some good wiki pages.

I liked this one particularly where they were referring to different sites to easily create the podcasts.

I found Odeo was much easier but still I am not sure how to get the orange icon on my page.http://odeo.com/
