    Dicking around with WordPress for the hiking podcast site

    All damn day today I’ve been dicking around with WordPress trying to customize certain parts. I find editing blocks both frustrating and flexible. There are so many more things you can do with WordPress than when I first started using it. But the new system using blocks sometimes is confusing and it’s hard to find…

    Finishing the edit on initial episode of the hiking podcast

    I don’t like to edit. On my financial podcast, Chasing the Yield, I would put together a blog post, talk through that blog post while recording, import the WAV file into Audacity, apply normalization and a noise gate effect, then save and export to MP3. All that takes maybe 5 minutes at best. I’m not…

  • Registered 4 domain names for my hiking podcast

    Yesterday I posted about how I was stuck because I couldn’t think of a domain name or come up with art for the new podcast. Out of the potential domain names I listed yesterday here are the ones I registered.

  • It’s now June and I never relaunched my podcast

    It’s now June and I never relaunched my podcast

    I’m stuck in the mud. I wrote back in February that I was going to relaunch this podcast. Well… it never happened. In fact, the other podcasts I was doing fell into the sinkhole that is my life. The most recent podcast I produced was on May 9, 2022. It was the one year anniversary…

    I’m going to attempt a relaunch of this podcast

    I started the idea to podcast a year ago because I was bored. I also learned about Podcasting 2.0 and started listening to their podcast. I was intrigued as to where they were headed specifically with Value4Value and streaming payments to podcasters or any other person making content distributed via RSS. Over the last year…
