When I started the readings for the podcasts I started at the beginning: Making a Podcast. I read it, I swear I did, but my eyes glazed over and my head swam. The letters and words passed, but the comprehension never came. It was like reading about Quantum Mechanics when you've only gone through Algebra 2 "way back" in high school. And here I thought I was pretty tech savvy. The thing is, I know I could figure out how to make a podcast, it's not like it's rocket surgery. But using these instructions did not help.
Podcast 1-2-3 by Jason Griffey did a much better job of breaking it down. Though his article wasn't exactly a 'how to' it was much more useful to understand the basics of podcasting. I know that an iPod is not needed, and that any computer at the very least can play the audio, that for video MPEG4 is the best bet for video and so on with Griffey's article. Granted, my job deals with video and internet and audio files quite often, but even for me the fundamentals of Podcasts were more evident in the easier-to-read article.

Glad you liked the article! It's good to see that it's still useful even after nearly a year...tech moves so fast, I sometimes doubt anything I write will be relevant.
Sometimes the new things aren't as good as the old, they assume we know the basics when we are just beginning.
