How To Podcast Using WordPress
A podcast is the next step from blogging. While blogging is performed by an army of pajama-clad individuals, podcasting is carried out by a large portion of these people, though typically, not as often, in pajamas with a digital recording device or an audio player. The podcasts are recorded in short chunks, then released via RSS 2.0 or Atom to their websites which is usually a blog. The listeners and viewers are able to download podcasts through podcast clients. A good podcast client (for instance, Juice, CastPodder, or iTunes) will permit users to sign up to the RSS/Atom feeds of your preferred podcasters and instantly download the podcast content to the computer or to a portable audio player as new episodes are made available.
The majority of podcast ers make their content in MP3 or MP4 video or audio files, and then upload them, connecting to the file within the blog post. Users are able to click the button to download the content even if they're not subscribed automatically to the RSS/Atom feed. The problem has never been in getting the content to the web page, but in getting the content to work through the feed systems. WordPress generally will include any new podcasting data in your RSS/Atom feed system. This makes it easier for you to deliver content and for your customers to subscribe to the content.

For most people, WordPress 1.5 and above will podcast effortlessly and automatically. When you hyperlink to the audio file within the body of a WordPress post using the full URL, it connects to the feed of RSS/Atom, making it usable as a podcast. Make sure you utilize a complete address.

The last step is to put an RSS/Atom feeds on your page. By default, feeds appear on the lower right on your WordPress page. The feeds link should look like this if you're using RSS:

In the earlier versions of WordPress the automated links functioned for posts only, not in static websites. Since WordPress requires precise information about file sizes, if you change an associated file, be sure to update the post with the link. If you've linked to a file that for any reason is not completely accessible from your blog then your podcast isn't working properly after it's finished because WordPress does not have the correct file size information.


For Apache servers and other servers which use for the .htaccess document, it is necessary to have the addition of a directive the configuration document or .htaccess file to enable your server's ability to identify podcast file formats (m4a and m4b) properly. It's as easy as adding this line to the file you use:
