Why dosen't his sever work?  I'm just wondering since we host at the same place and if it's a technical thing then it may not work from me.

I can host MP3s, at least I think I can, and if not maybe we can get Tage to host it.  You can e-mail it to me at my TWG address (in my profile) and I'll get it taken care of in the next few days (if I can't host it on my server).
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

ok try this for now.  I can make something that lets you manage the podcasts yourself if you want, this one I just took a template and filled it in myself and so I just made up things I didn't know like iTunes catagory.

This was a quick image I made too

I can't really say myself I don't have an iPod to test this one.  I guess I should get iTunes so I can test it.

But before I do that is there anything odd besides it not downloading?  Do you not get all the normal info or anything like that?  It would help me debug.

I think some link stuff was left out though...
like the link to the cast itself


the way I've seen it the cast file is linked to the title of the individual podcast.

I know how to download them, I was just suggesting getting iTunes so I could format it to look right on with that.  I've got my own RSS aggregator.
