Adding Podcasts

RapidWeaver allows you to easily add Podcasts to your blog entries. Podcasting is an evolving standard that allows audio or video files (most commonly in MP3 or MP4 formats) to be published online in a way that allows Podcast receiver programs - such as iTunes, Transistr, NewsFire and others - to automatically tune-in to them and download the files for playback at the listener's convenience.

When you add a Podcast to your blog entry by clicking the "Add Podcast..." button, RapidWeaver presents a Podcast pane that allows you to drag-and-drop your Podcast media file into your blog entry. You can customize your iTunes tags, set custom RSS tags, and even specify external multimedia files to be used for your Podcast if you choose not to use the Podcast dropbox.

NOTE: In order for Podcast applications to receive and download your Podcasts, you must enable RSS Feeds for your Blog page. Enabling RSS Feeds in RapidWeaver is described later in the Blog Setup section.
