Podcasting

 

Odiogo

 

http://Odiogo.com is pretty nifty.  You install it on your blog and it reads your blog to whomever clicks on the audio player. It turns your blog into a podcast. It's free, and all Odiogo needs is your blog URL, an email address, and your assurance that you are the owner of that blog; see: http://screencast.com/t/NmJkNTQ4ND

Odiogo will create mp3 files of all your blog postings and create a page for you on its servers which gives the feeds for your blog.  For example, for http://justcurious.posterous.com/, the Odiogo URLs are:

• Your Odiogo audio-enriched RSS feed: 
  http://podcasts.odiogo.com/just-curious/podcasts-xml.php
• Your Odiogo control page: 
  http://podcasts.odiogo.com/just-curious/podcasts-html.php

 

If you lose track of where your podcast feed it, just substitute the name of your blog for just-curious above; for example:

• http://podcasts.odiogo.com/adVancEducation/podcasts-html.php
