iTunes & RSS?

[LOGAN L Productions]

I really want to start a video podcast, but itunes requires an RSS code and stuff like that...it is explained here. Can someone please tell me how to create an RSS file? Is there a program I need? I really know nothing about it and am trying to search the internet for answers. If anyone knows how this stuff works, please help me out. Thanks!

This is what our RSS feed looks lke: click here

Of course, I stopped updating, because I'm planning to switch to an online organizer soon, that does RSS for me. Check out the W3 schools tutorials for RSS, if you're intersted. But I'd think there are programs out there to do that automatically. In a quick Google search for "videocast tutorial" I found this.
There seems to be something called Drupal too.

But if you just need to make a RSS thing, it's not to hard. You can make it in Notepad, just save as a .rss file and all is well. The W3 has all the knowhow on that.

Hey thankyou so much man. Its actually super simple haha. I just didn't know all I had to do was save the file as .rss. Thanks!

I just installed Drupal for our film fest, Spatula. I LOVE it. You have to get to know PHP a little but it is great and very flexible.

Yay! I'm up on itunes. Here's the link....but when I search for that podcast rather than going directly to it, it never shows up...I wonder if itunes takes a while to file it or omething...

Probably, yeah..

You might also consider submitting it to a number of podcast search engines, to build a bigger following more quickly. Here's a decent listing of a number of those search engines:
