Podcast listing solved and I curse syntax
I wasn’t able to get a response with regards to my messing up the listing of The Casual Hike at podcastindex.org. I ended up changing the file name to my RSS feed and adding the podcast back to the index. That solved my problem and I even kept the same GUID! I didn’t think that…

Messed up my listing at podcastindex.org
Once again I screwed things up and I’m not sure how to fix it. I successfully created the hiking podcast. You can find the feed at thecasualhike.com/tchpodcast.xml. I added it to podcastindex.org and everything was hunky dory. But, a problem cropped up where the index showed there were two episodes instead of only one. One…

Back in the podcast saddle
I guess I’m podcasting again. This time I’m a little more independent because I want to see how Sovereign Feeds work and I feel more comfortable with an XML file for my feed rather than one that is autogenerated at a directory. It’s definitely not as easy as PowerPress but it’s more complete and flexible…

Right now if you check podcastindex.org for the feed for Podcast Idiot it points to https://podcastidiot.com/feed/podcast. I will create a file…

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…

Domain name chosen and logo created
I took a poll on No Agenda Social to help decide on a domain name for the hiking podcast. The overwhelming choice was The Casual Hike. So… that’s what I went with. Hover is my domain registrar and Dreamhost is the hosting company I use for web sites and e-mail I manage. I changed the…
