Steve Notes:
- mp3+rss = podcast
- Adding an audio player and podcasting are different things
- A blog is not a podcast and a podcast is not a blog...but.a blog has an rss feed, so sound files in a blog can make a nifty podcast
- Only one media file per post...think of each as an episode
- You can do this manually or via a service...but you need a place for the mp3 files...
- Three "easy" steps:
- Creating (service: podomatic or program: Audacity)
- Hosting (library server or service: podomatic, blip.tv or switchpod)
- Casting (Blogger/Feedburner or blip.tv or switchpod or odeo, etc. etc. or just write your own feed...)
- You'll need one of these:
lame_enc.dll (Windows) | libmp3lame.dylib (Mac)

- Audacity Terminology/tips: Sample Rate (44khz) | Bit Rate (128), waveform, id3

Suggestions:
(Your area to make any suggestions as to how this is taught/what is taught)
(example) sg - suggestion goes here
ab- this is one of the more detailed sections and for some reason (for me at least) the files in itunes are all jumbled up and out of sequential order. It would be great if they could be in their logical order.
