Hey everyone. I don't think the trackback is "taking", so here's a link to a post where I respond to a few of the comments raised here. http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/001436.html Thanks!

What else would you suggest for someone using a free blog host such as blogger or in my case journalhome?

I just updated my journal and about 10-seconds later the feedburner feed was updated. I don’t think that it could get much faster than that. Part of it could be though that I am living in Australia, so when I update my blog most people in the US and Europe are asleep or at least not updating their blogs…

I agree. I don’t like feedburner I tired it and never got accurate Stats on podcasts listened to, not only that your statistics are public. I got nothing to hide but My stats are not everyone elses bussiness

i check my stats religously. i do use feedburner and have noticed that they have a lot of downtime and the statistics are never truly accurate. I will seek an alternative method and maybe try to develop my own.

I would need to know what other options are out there? Googles adsense for feeds is not available to the public yet. FB seems to fit and wa pretty easy to impliment.

I would have to ask, since goodads for feeds is till in beta, what other options are there? FB seems to fit for me right now.

Still night here. The thing is all of the weblog and CMS applications that i am aware of do RSS straight out of the box and most support podcasting if it doesnt then you need to ask your provider why.

Plus almost all of the applications now have the iTunes support coded in or as drop in replacement for an exsisting module.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the island again? You cursed in the post. I’m just joking with you. I don’t know how to code an RSS feed for enclosures or for iTunes. That is one of the reasons why I use feedburner. The atom feed that blogger gives me is great. It will display pictures if I have them in my post. But it does not have enclosures or is it ready for iTunes. I guess I just am stuck with one service until a better one comes out. Their update system has gotton alittle better though. I enjoyed your last podcast. The person that you can’t mention:-)
