You have been blogging for a while and just cannot wait to get that first podcast up and running. But sending visitors off to the depths of the Apple directory seems tedious. You want your iTunes podcast loaded directly from your Wordpress blog. With just a little knowledge of HTML and a couple links, the complicated becomes simple.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Open your favorite text editor or your favorite Web page creator that you use to modify your index.php page, sidebar.php or single.php, depending on where you wish for the link to occur.

  2. Step 2

    Create a back-up of the files above before you modify them. If a mistake happens, it's easily corrected.

  3. Step 3

    Locate an image on the Apple site that is suitable to your page size or your site design. Place it into your page as the following: itpc://www.example.com/podcast.xml'>

    Tips & Warnings
    • iTunes supports the following media formats: .m4a, .mp3, .mov, .mp4, .m4v and .pdf.
    • Test your link to make sure that it functions by clicking on it and launching iTunes.
    • It may take a few tries to get the format of the .xml correct. Keep working with it and trying it before submitting to iTunes.
