Google Offering Free Video Podcast Hosting

Aug 25th, 2007 | By | Category: General, Video, Video Podcasts, Vlogs

Google has announced video podcasting support for its blogger service.

To turn on enclosure links, just go to Settings > Formatting and set the “Show Link fields” option to “Yes.” This will add the enclosure link fields to your post editor. From there, just paste in the URLs of your recorded media, and your blog will instantly become a podcast.

  • Blogger supports adding multiple enclosures to a post, but for maximum compatibility with popular podcatchers, you may only want to include one enclosure per post.
  • By default, Blogger feeds are in Atom format. The defacto standard for podcasts is RSS 2.0 feeds. You can find your Blogger RSS feed at http://yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml.
  • Blogger¬†auto-detects the MIME Type for common podcasting file extensions. You probably want to leave this alone unless you‚Äôre really sure what you‚Äôre doing.
