Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info on the tutorial. I found it available on our Amazon. A bit pricey for us Americans, but nevertheless available. I’m going to ask my sister to buy it for me as she is wondering what to get me for my birthday!
If you’re in the USA, just go to Amazon.com and search on “Practical Web Design”. It costs $62.90 for 6 issues/1 year subscription.

Hi Cindy,
I have just written a tutorial on this subject for Practical web design magazine so maybe you can check that out when its released. That answer all your questions. If you cant get PWD then you’ll have to write to the editor at http://www.pwdmag.co.uk and beg him to publish it on their site!

I love your dad’s site! Now I can see, Paul, where you get your enthusiasm! He sounds alot like you.
I also was able to learn alot about how to publish my own podcast and did a sample podcast.
This was article was very helpful in getting my feet wet in this process. I’d like to see a little more flexibility on the podcast host page (at podOmatic.com), but maybe that is possible still, as I explore it more.
Anyways, I’d like to suggest you do a podcast on how others can get started with podcasts. You’ve already got one on podcasts in general, but this whets our appetite on “how do I do it in practical and specific terms?”
Suggestions for included topics for this implementation specific podcast overview:
* Overview: Brief overview of what podcasting is.
* Basic Tools Needed: Simple tools to record your first podcast: (Microphone going into your computer, audacity free s/w, and using the latter to convert to an MP3 format.)
* Publishing: Getting your podcast published (tools such as: podOmatic or possibly creating your own hosted web page?)
* Finding it: Getting the word out on your podcast.
Anyways, I LOVE your podcasts and want to see more. Both you and Marcus are a pleasure to listen to, and you are both teaching me alot and certainly whetting my appetite to learn more yet.

It's like a trip into the future! It's a level-headed, interesting Paul!!! LOL! I thought he did a great job. I can NEVER imagine my dad doing a podcast. Hopefully hell isn't close to freezing-over.
