oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh k.

i need help on this one. i'll run through the steps i'm taking and what i need help with.

1. record podcast - this is fine. easy. done.

2. upload to website. - uploaded to http://www.sloprock.com

3. create link to podcast - no idea. website is wordpress based.

4. RSS feed for itunes - again i've read so much on this but no one actually explains it right.

i think thats all i need to know...... i think?

help. 8O

create link to podcast - depends what folder you uploaded it to. I assume you put it somewhere in the html folder.

So if you uploaded it to public_html/podcasts/podcast1.mp3, the link to your mix would be http://www.sloprock.com/podcasts/podcast1.mp3

once you've figured out the link you need to login and make a new post. Maybe under news? Wherever. I assume you know this but the login page to edit your wordpress is http://sloprock.com/wp-login.php

Once you've logged in go to post -> new post (something along those lines).

I've never made an rss feed from scratch but I know a bit of XML so looking that up now for you

no problems man. i think i've almost got it sorted. just looking for somewhere better to host it rather than my hosting space, because if it goes well it may fuck it up.

which brings me to my next question.

Amazon S3

has any one used this? whats the costs involved? i know they have a pricing page but its basically gibberish to me.
