It has been picked up by a load of padcast servers and mirrored, I dotn knwo if it is generating any new sales form it or just entertaining our existing members, but its fun

Zac,

Sorry stupid question, i just want to clarify, you re-add the SAME .xml file each day or a new one?

I think im reading your reply wrong as it sounded like you just keep re-adding the same file1.xml over and over again.

Hello Lee,

You just keep adding to the same XML file.
You need one container for each podcast episode

I presume there must be some way to create a bunch of casts at once and have them update every day automatically.

Be sure to check this page for a complete overview of podcasting. Pay special attention to the iTunes tags. They have some specific tags that you'll need to insert that aren't part of a normal XML feed. You have to have them to get listed in iTunes though.

Also services like feedburner can help make things easier and check your syntax before you submit:

Okay cool thanks for that additional info :)

Guess i have a lot of reading to do the next couple of weeks LOL

I appreciate all the info in this thread as im sure our other community members who are looking at podcasting as a branding option do :)
