Blogger+RSS+Feed

The feed provided by Blogger is in a format call Atom – not what you need for podcasting. For podcasting you need a feed that conforms to a standard called RSS 2.0, so we now have to convert your Atom feed into a RSS feed. That’s where Feedburner [|http://feedburner.com] comes in handy. Feedburner allows you to take your Atom feed and make it into an RSS feed. Once you get to FeedBurner, give them your Atom feed address from Blogger and click on the “I’m a podcaster” check box. Click next and add some account detail. In return, Feedburner will give you an RSS feed with an address like http://feeds.feedburner.com/PodcastForFree You can then add more information like the category you want for your podcast, a description of your podcast and other useful information for podcast directories. Feedburner will offer you all kinds of services for your podcast, but you don’t need to buy anything.

I like to have my podcast feed on my blog website so everyone can get to it. So back to Blogger we go. You will want to go to the Template tab and scroll down until you find and change this code in the window. Before edit code  Google News Edit-Me Edit-Me

This sets up new links for your blog allowing everyone to find your podcast feed. Just make sure you use your podcast feed, not the one used for this example. Once your done editing, save your changes and republish your blog to make the changes show up. You should then click on your podcast feed link to make sure it works and make sure the podcast is included in the RSS file. It may not be there in the beginning if it has not yet been approved by Archive.org. Feedburner will only include a podcast enclosure when there is a valid mp3 that can be downloaded. Give it some time and it should show up.
