Creating Podcasts

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.
