Today’s question:
I enjoyed your squidoo podcast with Bob. How to do this?
That podcast was a teleseminar that Bob and I did. The service I was using then is free and they record it for you . You can get an account at The Basemenet Ventures.
I then downloaded the mp3 from them of the recording and uploaded it to my blog. I use the Pod Press plugin to create the buttons and to be able to allow it to play on the site or be downloaded. Created the page and added the media file and now it is available.
If you are going to do a podcast like I do most days here you don’t need to use a conference line. If you have a microphone and an audio editor you can record your own mp3. I use a free program from SourceForge called Audacity.
To make the podcast today here is what I do. Open Audacity and import my intro music. Push the record button and start talking. If I make a mistake I can just edit it with Audactity and once I am happy with the recording I just export it as an mp3. Then I will ftp the file up to the upload folder of this blog. Write my post and then click the add media file button and add the info for this podcast and then publish the post.
So easy even this Old Bald Guy can do it.
Also, a quick note - the next free WordPress Q and A Call will be April 1st. You can click on the link and leave your questions now then stop back on Tuesday for the answers.
As always your comments and quesstions are welcomed.

Here is today’s question from the Q and A call.
My question is can you have more than one blog on one domain? Like www.yourdomain.com/blog/ and then have another blog at www.yourdomain.com/wdbog/ ? Is this possible or should someone get different domains for each blog?
This is a good question which is why I wanted to answer it here.
The answer is yes you can have more than one blog on a domain. Now for the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. One other thing I would recommend that you use sub domains instead of a folder if you are going to use multiple blogs. This means your url would be http://blog.mydomain.com even though the files would go in a folder on the server the same way. The search engines treat the sub domains as a different site and tend to index the separately.
Now let’s look at why you would want multiple blogs on the same domain and when it probably isn’t a good idea.
If your main domain is on a broad topic like dogs and you wanted separate blogs on
That would work because you would be getting keyword rich domains like http://greyhounds.mydogsite.com that are related.
Now if you had a golf domain and wanted other blogs on topics like
This wouldn’t work.
As always you can let me know what you think good or bad and ask your questions by commenting or using the survey form.
