How to Create TypePad Posts for Daily Podcasts

Posting a new podcast each day gives readers a good reason to visit your blog often. Using TypePad to post your daily podcasts makes it as easy as adding a graphic file to your blog. TypePad's full podcasting support also means that you don't have to create an RSS feed since it's created automatically.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Record your podcast and save it as an MP3 file.

2. Sign in to your TypePad account and select the Post tab to open the page for composing a new post.

3. Type the body of your post. You can title the post if you like, though that's not mandatory.

4. Select 'Insert File' to browse and locate your media file. The code for your uploaded file will be added to your blog post.

5. Select 'Publish Now' on the Posting Status drop-down.

6. Save the post to display the file link for download. The RSS feed will automatically be created in your blog directory.

Tips & Warnings

• Try to post your podcasts at the same time each day.
• If your podcast contains news or sports items, make sure your information is current at the time you post it.
• A daily podcast should probably be no more than 10 or 15 minutes long.
• Avoid using copyrighted music in your podcasts.
• Password-protected blogs on TypePad cannot contain podcasts. The password protection must be removed to insert a file.
