I found some good, sensible sounding podcasts to do with surviving in libraries in one of the directory links in the homework and tried to get them downloaded into the Juice program that I downloaded, but without any success. I don't have many IT genes I'm afraid. Then I read what Roz had done & so I also went to the Odeo directory type site in search of a simpler solution. http://odeo.com/ There I found that I could directly embed a podcast straight into my blog by using the HTML gadget in the blog customize thingy. I chose a podcast called Peter Cundell & Kostya Iszyu thinking that I'd be in for a bit of garden biffo entertainment! That's when I discovered how the directory descriptions given these podcasts can be a bit misleading. It was actually an ABC conversation hour interview firstly with Peter Cundell and then with Kostya Tszyu...how disappointing....but the LIBRARY link is that Peter Cundell started out his career in Australia as a librarian!
I've learnt that RSS technology is also used to move audio files around...not just headings & text. I was looking for the RSS symbol on the directory page, because the homework said "add an RSS feed for a podcast to your blog reader"....lack of those genes again, it seems. At least now I'm pretty right with "embedding" without blushing.
