Podcasting for Churches

Over the last six months, Park has made a huge commitment to the internet and to providing our messages in many formats. We have upgraded our technology, our team, and our know-how, and have begun podcasting our Sunday messages. When I went to on the web, I thought it would be a straightforward process to podcast. We already had the message in mp3 format, so all I needed to do is Google the web, find a podcasting 1-2-3 site, and then let it rip. I didn’t find any great sites that would help me step by step to get our messages to show up in I-Tunes.
Assuming you have your Sunday messages in mp3 format, here is my journey to get podcasting up and running.
1. Open up a Blogger or WordPress account (they are free and easy to operate). For this example, I will use Blogger, which is where Park’s messages are linked. In setup, click that youwant a links box under the message title.
2. Each week, insert a message title and a link to the message mp3 located on your website into your blogger entry. Also add the name of the speaker in the main blogging area.
3. Set up a Feedburner account.
4. On Feedburner, add your link to your blogger account, and fill in the I-Tunes information.
5. On I-Tunes, click on podcast, then click on SUBMIT YOUR PODCAST
6. Insert your Feedburner feed URL, then wait a week and you should be on I-Tunes.
