Hunter Hills Podcasting

A few days ago I posted some very popular sermons from HH and commented that I was looking for free hosting/media streaming to distribute the sermons on the web. The next post was charging my young friend and companion with the task of overcoming some of the difficulties I was experiencing with some of the services. Since he has the time, he can research stuff much better than I can.

Anyway, after his searching and studying we have come upon a solution that we like. So, for your reading pleasure...a how-to overview for posting streaming media on the web.

1. Go to the Internet Archive and register.
   
   
2. Download and install the ccPublisher utility that allows you to tag your audio and upload it to the Internet Archive for free hosting.
   
   
3. Use the ccPublisher utility to upload your content to the Internet Archive.
   
   
4. Create a blog. I, of course, used Blogger to create HHAudio.blogspot.com. Make sure you turn on the syndication ability of your blog. (The hardest part of this was getting the template working to make it appear as if a user has never left Hunter Hill's website. I had a bear turning all relative paths into fully-qualified paths).
   
   
5. Finally, go to FeedBurner and use their free service that turns you syndicated blog feed into feeds formatted for various podcasting utilities.

That is it. I think it is all working.
