Podnova was the only app that was able to find the enclosures in your category feed. You can claim the feed here

iTunes wasn’t able to find anything and Feedburner and Google Reader also did not find the MP3 audio.

Thanks for the feedback.
I’m still very much categorized as a text blog.
I’ll look into registering or formatting my podcasts so they’re easier to find.
Aside from creating a dedicated “podcasts” category, I haven’t really looked into registering myself as a podcast blog as rich media posts make up about 15% of my total posts.
If you’ve any further suggestions, I’m all-ears.
Cheers!

June 26, 2007 at 10:38 am (17 years ago)I peeked at Frazer’s Feed and Site
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/affiliatebloguk
Site: http://www.affiliateblog.co.uk/
He also adds a player to the post, but it also adds something to the feed that looks like this (I hope it will work, it’s HTML code).

It seems that all that is done with the WordPress plugin “Podpress”. See: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/
I would say that it is worth checking out. Making your RSS feed compatible that enclosures will be detectable is important for iTunes, Podcast search engines and people who want to subscribe to the podcast via their favorite podcast software or service.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Thanks for digging that info out.
Shoemoney’s using podpress too.
I guess I’ll be looking at podpress for my podcasting syndication.
Thanks a bunch, man!

June 26, 2007 at 3:35 pm (17 years ago)Carsten, I see you have this page up:
http://www.cumbrowski.com/CarstenC/seo_podcats_videos.asp
If you’ve got something related to podcasting and podcast RSS syndication, I’d gladly point to it when you have it up.
I think it’s a great area, but I’m kinda bogged down at the moment.
Let me know?
Cheers!

June 27, 2007 at 1:15 am (17 years ago)I just wanted to tell you that I would add your podcast to that page on my site once you have a feed that is usable for podcast services and software. 🙂
I have the list of podcasts and also resources for XML development and Data Feeds, also blogging solutions, but none to podcasting and podcast RSS syndication really.
The closest thing I have a long and comprehensive primer about what blogs, RSS and syndication is, where it came from and what it is good for.
The article is one of my older ones and titled:
Blogs, Blogging, XML, ATOM, RSS Explained in Simple Words
It’s actually pretty good. A lot of time went into it for writing it and for researching the facts.

Thanks for the offer. Lemme see if I can squeeze out some time to get this podcast syndication thing figured out.
I’ll check out your resources and see if I can get podcast syndication ready by this week’s Friday Podcast.
PS: I saw that one of the booths at ASE is for cumbrowski.com. Looks like an interesting development.

June 27, 2007 at 6:17 am (17 years ago)Booth at ASE for cumbrowski.com? I wish hehe.. no, I just have a conference pass and a ticket for the affiliate dinner on Saturday before the summit. Where did you see the booth?

Determine exactly what you have and also just acquire the upgrades that you genuinely need.
The trouble is that Supercell does something that a lot of firms
in Finland do – business vacation during the summer season.
