And we then need to click on ‘add media file’, that mistake I deliberately made where we have a space at the end of the URL means this pit is not working correctly. This should be a drop down list of the upload MP3 files appearing here. That is why I did that show you one of the potential problems. As any problem that might have actually come across when installing for press side file so as long as you get back to press settings and one of these is to scroll the end and just take out that space. I will put another forward slash at the end as well.
I have also opted for the stats to be switched on. If you do that and you get a warning message about the HT access file needing to be edited or writeable, you will need to do that. That is a separate video. It is not already uploaded. That will be done over the next few days showing you how to make changes to make changes to your HT access file. It is not very difficult, it really is not. Okay, so that is kind of bit we need to do.
You also make it a warning when you come in here saying your theme is not compatible. If you get that message then you need to try different theme, a more modern theme unless you are able to make the changes to your theme that the system will suggest to you. It is quite easy if you know you are in an HT mode, you just click on the ‘presentation theme editor’ then edit the header and footer to put in the box of code as needed.
The blog tactics theme that we used in here, blog tactics blue simple. You do not need to worry with this thing and you can get that from blogtactics.com. So we need to make sure that URL is correct. We take the stats and it will fill in the information automatically. We just need to scroll down to the bottom. Do not worry about the rest of the settings. You can play around with this once you get used or pressed what you are doing. For the moment, just update the options and once that is done, we get back to right post and now in the right post part where we scrolled down and click on ‘add media file’, we now have a drop down list icon here and it list all the MP3s that we uploaded to the uploads folder so you can just click on it and we can put it in a title if you want to so I will just type in just my new my new blog, enter, that will do it. You can have more Podcast file here if we scroll down, you can have another media file and then the other thing that you are going to do here is auto detect signs and auto detect durations that is filled in. The rest of it, we do not need to worry about so get on with doing the post and when you want the Podcast to appear in the post, you basically copy and paste this little bit of code here and to do that, if you cut the visual edit, you have to click on the code icon here code tab so that comes up and you can paste it in to the code.
How much are you going to quickly copy and paste a post tab prepared in to that? So basically just type in my post there and you can see I am putting the display Podcast tag at the bottom of the post. So once I am happy with that, I can get back to the visual and just check how it looks. The tag was not shown but I think it will show up so you can both place in there. And all you need to do is click on publish and as soon as that, actually published in the blog program. Have a look and show you what it looks like. Okay that is posted so get back to the blog and if we click on ‘refresh’, we should now have a post. Again it might take a second to two. My internet collection is slow today for some reason. Here we go. Okay so we have not got any post, I have to post this. We need to click and go to the main post. We can do that from the title or from this link here and it will bring up the full post because the Podcast file is at the bottom.
It comes up, here we go and it was scrolled and we have a Podcast here. I click on ‘play’. I am not sure how this video recording software will cope to this. I put it on a volume 10. I put it on a volume 10 actually. O, there we go. You can probably here that running in the background. I will click on pause. Okay, so that is how to use a Podcasting software, the Podcast plug in so just record your MP3 file using Odesity which is free through sourceforts.net. Upload the plug in, activate it, make those quick changes and settings and then do your post with that little bit of code in to the post. That is what we are to it. This video can be found on blog tactics on the videos. Thanks very much.
