The Kanaz@wee! Podcast feed is updated and running!

Apparently I have to keep the Kanaz@wee! site set to publish full descriptions, even though I loose descriptions for older shows. I'd rather have the show available through aggregators and online rather than looking good on the XML page. What a pain in the ass to figure all of this out. I think I have a handle on things now.

Audioblog.com - used for uploading and publishing (Audacity encoded) mp3's (@32kbps mono, max is about 45 min) and tracking direct download stats
Blogger.com - handles the shows, provides a site feed, and accepts comments from listeners
Feedburner.com - burns the site feed into XML for aggregators and tracks subscriber stats
Feedvalidator.org - checks the XML for integrity
Ping-o-matic - automatically pings Feedburner.com when a new show or updates to shows have been made.

Now I can record shows over 30 min long, post shows from on the road, have the mp3's available for download, and burn XML for subscriptions. The only fees are for Audioblog.com ($50/year). If I can only keep this all going consistently for the next month, I'll be happy.
