By the end of the piece, you're sure to have found a solution to suit your needs. Before we crack on to the list though, let's cover some background on podcasting itself. A Brief Overview of Podcasting Podcasting's history goes back further than blogging itself. Although its roots lie in the 1980s indie radio boom, the modern format become popular in 2004 through platforms such as Odeo. During that time, the iPod was the dominant force in online media consumption. Developers and radio enthusiasts were on the lookout for a way to easily add their programs to the device and Apple's 2005 integration of podcasts in iTunes set the ball rolling in earnest. Since then, podcasts have been created by every conceivable media outlet and organization on earth and opened the door for many individual voices. Some of the most popular podcasts have been entertainment-based. The Ricky Gervais Show, for example, started life as an incredibly popular podcast with roots in traditional radio. Due to its success, the show grew into an HBO series with multiple spinoff shows starring various cast members. Other popular podcasts explore a diverse range of topics with standout examples including This American Life, The Joe Rogan Experience, The Nerdist, and Radiolab.

RSS is one of those technologies that are extremely simple yet extremely powerful. Currently, RSS is the de facto standard for blog syndication, and it is used widely in both personal and corporate settings; for example, in blogs. And because a large percentage of these blogs run on WordPress, we'll cover in this post some (hopefully) relatively unknown but useful RSS-related tricks and hacks that will help you use RSS in a more effective way - and without unnecessary and chunky WordPress plug-ins.

Facebook is one of those Web phenomena that impress everyone with numbers. To cite some: about 250 million users are on Facebook, and together they spend more than 5 billion minutes on Facebook… every day. These numbers suggest that we should start thinking about how to use Facebook for blogging or vice versa. We did some research to find out how the integration of Facebook with WordPress and vice versa works, or - in other words - how you can present your WordPress blog on Facebook or use the functionality of Facebook on your WordPress-powered blog.

Every so often you come across a site that makes you wonder why you never found it before, and Andy Gongea's GraphicRating site is one of those for me. This collection of favorite WordPress Tutorials and Resources is extremely helpful, as is his WordPress Cheat Sheet. I often gauge the quality of sites by who they link to, who they cite as authorities, and who they admire. Andy's heros are my heros: Zeldman, Molly, Meyer, Shea, Moll, Croft, Snook are some he specifically names in his Ten Things a Web Designer Should Consider article. In this Tutorials and Resources article, he links to quality tutorials from other designers I know and respect, like Chris Coyier's CSS-Tricks and Ian Stewart's ThemeShaper.com among many others. In other words, if I hadn't already found a lot of these great sites, this one post would have set me up really nicely! I look forward, therefore, to exploring all the great tutorials and resources I haven't yet discovered on my own that he lists.
