Still Struggling with RSS
Although I have a Feedburner account through Google and Blogger provides RSS software, I still have trouble understanding how to use it to my advantage. I can see how the normal posts appear on a RSS newsreader but my embedded podcasts will not play on that format. I realize now that I show be using the enclosure links. That way my podcasts will feed on their own (I think). So, I will attempt to do a test podcast this weekend and use the enclosure link function and then check my Feedburner account. My technical goal for next week is to go through the Feedburner site and complete the set-up for my blog. In an effort to change over from my website to my blog, I removed my LiveSpaces site and linked my Blogger site instead. I realize by linking to my blog I don't get the benefit of "changing" content but I am planning on terminating my Microsoft account when it comes up for renewal in January 2011. By that time, I will have changed over all my marketing efforts to the Blogger address. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment.

Working On Upgrading Blog
In addition to having you come along with me on my fitness journey, you get an additional item for free! I am going back through my blogging resources to see if I can draw in some comments or get involved with a community. I don't know enough to take advantage of my blogging and certainly didn't know enough to manage a website. So, I am paring down to just the blog and doing things on the cheap and learning as I go. You will be informed of my progress physically and technologically (a twofer!). If anyone wishes to help me out, please feel free. I am currently reading Blogging for Dummies and still trying to figure out how to best use RSS and other tools to promote my site. I believe the biggest issue is that I don't make comments on other blogs--my task this week is to find some blogs I like, use a RSS reader, and then start commenting.
