Podcast - or videocast - are the two new great features in the blog area. The first one allows to put some audio file on your blog (as we did here) and the second one is showing videos on blogs (using for example vpod.tv).
But how to post a podcast on your BlogExpat ?
1) upload the mp3 file via the resource center
2) create a new post
3) type the contents of the post and include a link to your mp3 file. Please use the "add resource" link.
4) Now the podcast is ready. Take a look at the RSS 2.0 feed for your blog and you'll see an <enclosure ...> tag pointing to your mp3 file.
You can include a link to the file by inserting a ressource in the text box of your post. You can also have a look directly in you ALBUM on the blog, to see the file ready to be downloaded.
- In order to put some button to run it like on EasyExpat's blog, you can use Dewplayer, with a piece of code that you insert in you blog directly (you need to insert into the html directly. To edit your text into HTML format, use the button < >). It will be such as (replace the name of your album and your_song):
<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/plugins/dewplayer.swf?son=/blog/resource/your album/download/your_song.mp3" width="200"
height="20">
<param
name="movie" value="/plugins/dewplayer.swf?son=/blog/resource/your album/download/your_song.mp3" />
</object>
Happy podcast!!!
