The first step in creating Podcasts for your blog
page is to author the audio or video multimedia
file you intend to use. A variety of audio and
video Podcast creation tools are available,
including GarageBand, Podcast Factory, AudioExpress
and others. Once you have authored your multimedia
file, you turn it into a Podcast by clicking the
"Add Podcast..." button. When the Podcast pane
opens, drag your media file on top of the Podcast
dropbox (found under the "Podcast" tab). When you
publish your website, RapidWeaver will
automatically export the file to your website as a
Podcast.
Blog - Podcast: Podcast Dropbox
RapidWeaver directly supports MP3, MPG, MOV, MP4 (including M4V and M4A variants) and PDF file types for Podcasting. You can add any one of these file types to your Podcast simply by dropping the desired multimedia file onto the Podcast dropbox. However, you may also link to external multimedia files to create your Podcast rather than using the Podcast dropbox by using the "Override default Podcast settings" option found under the Custome RSS Tags tab.NOTE: Podcasting is merely a specialized implementation of the RSS tag in your blog entry that points to the multimedia file you are syndicating. While MP3 audio files are most commonly used, you may attach other types of files to your Blog including images, movies , documents and more. However, only one multimedia file may be added as a Podcast per Blog entry.
