A podcasting resource website by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This is a site for novice and expert. There are tutorials, FAQ, lessons, websites for uploading or downloading podcasts. I have taken a podcasting class but didn't know about this reference. The websites listed at this URL that I checked still work. If I had someone who wanted to learn how to podcast, I believe this would be one of the sites I would suggest.

This is a website that uploads Powerpoints. It uploads the powerpoint and then will change it to mov and upload to YouTube. You may download video from YouTube and place it in your PowerPoints from this site. The instructions are easy to follow. However, you will need to refresh your page after about 10 minutes after uploading. The site sends you an email when the ppt is uploaded. This site takes a while to perform the task, but the quality is very good. I have been happy with the site. You can also Tweet from this site. Greating cards and setting up your own channel are also options.
