"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.

Need to start a category "Tools for English Majors"

Need category: Tools 4 English Majors

You might look at this Joel and Seanna as a way to build our various blogs and social networks. Ideas: create a guide for aspiring English majors, share exemplary writings, push existing FB and Twitter networks, get in touch with more and different kinds of English majors.

Yes, there is a lot of stuff in these guides, but there is much to make you consider as well. This is a collection of gift guides. I would recommend Uncle Mark's guide first because it is relatively short and has ideas for doing as well as buying. The rest? Well, Christmas isn't the only time of year for giving.

Joel, How might this study apply to the weblog and your choice of themes?

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.

Might get someone to do a review of this and other 'auktomatic" paper grading tools.

Might be a handy tool for when we start doing some SEO stuff.
