How upload your podcast to iTunes and other podcasting aggregators using Blogger and Feedburner.
Step 1: Publish a post with Blogger.
The title of your post will need to be click able and point to the audio/video file. You can leave show notes, pictures and so forth. In the actual post, link the file as well
Check out my podcast from this past weekend.
Important: Make sure your podcast file URL does not include any spaces (or encode each space in the original filename with the %20 combination). For example
http://www.yourhost.com/directory/youraudiofile.mp3
http://www.yourhost.com/directory/your%20audio%20file.mp3
Step 2: Set Up your feed.
Setting up a feed with Feedburner is quite simple. With blogger you are provided a ATOM XML feed.
In the settings portion of blogger click on the site feed tab and you will find you XML feed (http://yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml). Next cut and paste that XML feed to Feedburner and make sure the “I am a podcaster box” is checked. From there Feedburner will walk you through setting up a “Smartcast”
Step 3: Ping Feedburner
This is an extra step, but it will update Feedburner immediately simple click here and enter either your URL or XML feed. I do both just to make sure.
Step4: Summit to iTunes
In the podcasting section of iTunes find the “summit a Podcast” icon and add your podcast.

CU Coach Hawkins
Boise State coach Dan Hawkins has accepted the head coaching job at the University of Colorado, sources told ESPN. Hawkins will be introduced at a news conference on Friday.
ESPN has also learned that offensive coordinator Chris Petersen will remain at Boise State and replace Hawkins as head coach. Hawkins, however, is expected to take several of his assistants from Boise State with him to Colordo.
The nice thing is that Boise State will get a nice down payment on stadium expansion with CU buying out $850,000.00 of coach Hawkins contract.
With this Boise State can finally move on quickly and Coach Pete will be a perfect fit and BSU won't miss a beat.

Firefox 1.5
The latest version of Firefox is out and ready to go. I played with version 1.5 for about a week before giving my approval of it. I was able to update my current extensions with very little problem. The more and more extensions are updated the better. Go out and give it a try, I know you will like it.
