"The rest of this tutorial will mostly focus on using the Casual Hobbyist solution for launching a podcast. This solution will get you started very quickly and for free. Casual Hobbyist Recommendations: Blog Service/Tool: Blogger RSS Feed Generation: Feedburner File Storage/Hosting: Ourmedia Pros: Free, quick to get started, easy to use Cons: Minimal support, no stats, no guarantee for uptime of your files for download, limited customization of your site/blog, podcast not available right away after upload Hobbyist or Small Business Level At this level your goal is to have a small to medium-sized audience. You'll need plenty of bandwidth as you gain more subscribers. For this I recommend a podcast hosting service called Liberation Syndication (Libsyn). Libsyn offers unmetered bandwidth. This means there is no limit on the amount of data that is downloaded or transferred from your web site. This means as your audience grows you will not be charged more for bandwidth. You pay according to how much data you upload each month. This depends on show length, quality and frequency. For example, with Libsyn's Podcast Basic account, you can upload 100 MBs each month. This is enough to upload a 20-minute high quality music program once a week. For the most part, the guys at Libsyn have done a great job at providing hosting to a lot of podcasters. Their prices are hard to beat. It sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it comes at a bit of a trade off in my opinion. They've had some trouble with downtime here and there. The support is limited as it is only four guys running the company. They're usually very helpful and jump on problems quickly, but it seems they're going through some growing pains. They are also basically still a startup. This comes with some potential uncertainty for the future of their company. Libsyn gives you, in one easy place, all the elements you need (blog, feed, etc.) to publish your podcast to the internet. They also give you the

Very handy.

Worth looking at for advice on guest blogging.

Lots of good blogging design principles. Might bear looking over and comparing to our own blogs and blog themes.

Might be some ideas in here on guest blogging.

This post has given me an idea--we could write an ebook--How to Create Your Own Blog Book or Organize Your Department Around a Blog

Pretty good advice for blogging as well as curating.

I am thinking about writing a blog post about ways to use Anthologize/Pressbooks/etc to self publish. I will take the heat from CW.

Sometimes the key to finding a way of living in English is no longer defined by progress as measured by which degree you might get, but on resilience with the knowledge you already have? I might recommend a series of blog posts that speak to the idea that the English major is more resilient than most others.

I think this is a busy but beautiful blog design.

whaddya think?

That's really interesting, especially since we're knee-deep in academics. I may share it on the blog!

gamifying our blog? how could we do this? why?

REally running a blog also means marketing. If this chart means anything, it insists on the marketable nature of blogging as a skill.

Find someone who wants to exercise their creative impulses and get them to do this for our spring contest? BTW are we going to have a prize?
