How to get started

The first thing that I did was to create a blog account. If you go to the webpage below you will see how to get started. It takes three easy steps: creating an account where you enter you information etc, decide on a name for your blog (you can have fun with this), then select a template to get you started (you can change this whenever you like)

Next, I went to the two free services and signed up and followed their directions. (You have to activate them through the emails they send you, but the whole process takes only a few minutes and then you are ready to create your podcasts. Then, find the podcast, publish it and click on the link to get the html code. You copy the html code then paste it directly into your post on blogger. Here are the two webpages to the two services:

GCast Podcasting Service

Here is another free service that I found which allows you three avenues to create a podcast to post to your blog, telephone, computer or download music from a free site. (emerging artists have posted their own privately produced music here so there aren't any violations in posting them)

A way to post podcasts to my blog

I have just signed on to a new free service called Gabcast.com where you can use the telephone to record audio podcasts and post them to your blog. So, here is my first effort at using this service. Tell me what you think.
