Today's question comes from Anita, who has a question about podcast hosts. How does she host her files on Libsyn but get them to show up on her website? Anita's question is http://www.simplyspeakinggenealogy.com/.

If you are starting a podcast, check out my free podcasting tutorial (http://www.podcastingtutorial.com). Your podcast host (like Libsyn), will offer you a podcast player to use. The other two WordPress plugins I mention are Powerpress (http://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/) or my own Smart Podcast Player (http://smartpodcastplayer.com). The two file hosts I discuss are Libysn (http://libsyn.com) and Buzzsprout (http://buzzsprout.com).
