The orange icon above is the universal symbol for a RSS Feed, you may have seen it on other websites. This icon lets you know that there is content, whether its text, audio, or video, to which you can “subscribe” to using a feed reader (which I’ll explain a little later).

A RSS feed, also known as “Really Simple Syndication”, is simply a file hosted on a server that communicates any updates you make to your website/podcast to your audience’s computer. Users can “subscribe” to a RSS feed using a program known as a feed reader. The feed reader will automatically check the RSS feed for updates and automatically download any new content. -That way your audience can stay up to date without the hassle of checking your website constantly.

You may be wondering where you can get a feed reader so I have included some examples that you can download:

• iTunes


• Juice


• Doppler


• FireANT

How to Subscribe:

Subscribing to a podcast is easy with our “1 click ” subscription buttons. From any page on your website, click “Subscribe” at the top of the page.



A drop-down box with open with four options, (Odeo, iTunes, XML, Zune)



I will be using iTunes in this example as it is the most popular podcast receiver. Simply click the iTunes button and your browser will automatically launch the application. (Note you must download and install iTunes)



You are now subscribed to the feed. iTunes will download the latest episode and check for new content everyday (you can increase the frequency that iTunes checks for updates from within the settings).

Thats all there is to it!

Can you set up sound bite to play on your profile page, like a radio or iPod Shuffle? They have it on MySpace, but you can't upload your own MP3's... That would be great!
