Dean, Yes, managing your feed with a blog is your best bet. For free options: 1. Blogger (by Google): This is probably your best bet. You can even use your own domain and have Blogger manage the domain as far as content goes. 2. Wordpress.com: This is another option and would be my second choice. 3. LiveJournal: This would be my third option if you are strictly talking a podcast blog. -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dean Martineau Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 10:01 AM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: recommendations for podcast feed I'm trying to get over some seemingly simple technical hurdles that seem to be stumping me. I'm looking to relaunch my podcast on a firm footing. I can host the files myself, and am not looking to generate comments, so would only want a blog as a means to distribute the podcast;. I'm not afraid to write my own feed, but would rather it be generated automatically. I'm trying a cool thing called dircaster, which is supposed to generate an rss feed automatically from ID3 tags of mp3 files that you upload, but so far it hasn't worked for me. If anybody has used it, I'd love to do some troubleshooting. Given this scenario, what service would you recommend that I use to generate a feed with as little labor as possible? If I need to create a blog to achieve the desired end, which blog service do people prefer these days? Thanks in advance. Dean
