Adding Podcast drop-down selection on sidebar

  • Hi everyone, I’m almost done finishing up my site and I have a couple of podcasts that I do. What I would like on my site is the option to have under my twitter section a selection bar. to choose what podcast you want to download. it drops down and you click, it downloads. ive looked at the plugins and it seems that none of them have that. if anyone can help me, it would be great.

  • 1. I would like to know how you are able to get an audience to lsiten to a podcast (I have failed miserably in that department).

    2. What you could do, is make a Podcasts category, then you can use the catagories widgit, set it to dropdown, and hiarchy.

    thats a good idea. how would i be able to upload the podcast though? thats the only thing im trying to figure out.

    i interview local up-and-coming musicians, photographers, artist, videographers, organizations, all through ought the valley.

    That depends on whoever is hosting your website. And unless you have a large amount of space, I would recommend just uploading your episodes to archive: https://archive.org. Once their, you can make an ‘episode’, by posting inside the category you want to be your episode, and at the end of the post, putting the direct link to that episodes mp3 file.

    So the steps are:
    1. Sign up for an account at https://archive.org
    2. Upload an episode (using the instructions at archive.org)
    3. Once uploaded, and all of the info has been added, go to the page, right click on the mp3 file, and click on ‘save link location’ (may very between OS and browser, also, it will take a few minutes before it will set up the page for you).
    4. Go to your wp dashboard, create a new post.
    5. Enter in all of your shownotes.
    6. Put a link to the mp3 file location you just got in step 3.
    7. Set the category to the name of your show.

    Good luck. Maybe in the near future, I will actually have a successful podcast. ??
