7. Sharing Your Podcast

To share your podcast, you will first need a website for people to see a listing of your podcasts! Blogger allows you to create a simple website/blog.

Blogger doesn't have the capability to host your audio files at this time. Box.net is a free service that gives you 1 GB of web storage space! It is also one place where you can host your audio files. Once you've uploaded your audio files to your Box.net account, you can easily post your audio files (podcasts) to Blogger via their Blog Posting service! That is how the podcast in posting #6 of this blog was posted!

To create your podcast site:

1. Create a Box.net account.
2. Upload your MP3 file (podcast) to your Box.net account. Here's how.
   
3. Create a Blogger account, using any email address you like. If you already have a gmail account, then you can just sign-in to Blogger using your gmail address and gmail password.
   
4. Create a blog with your new Blogger account. Here's a video on how to do this:
   
   


5. Go into your Box.net account, and click on the "Open Box" tab at the top. Scroll down to the find the "Blog Posting" service, then click on the "Add Service" button.
6. In your Box.net account, click on the "My Files" tab at the top. Find your podcast MP3 file and click on the blue arrow beside it. Select "Post to Blogger". Note that this action will post the MP3 file to the blog which is listed at the top of your blog list (most recently edited) within your Blogger account. Voila! You've posted your podcast!
