One of the other really cool features I found was the ability to supply an alternate feed URL which allowed me to point new subscribers to my FeedBurner URL <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/UserGroupRadio">http://feeds.feedburner.com/UserGroupRadio</a>. </p> <p> This post is going to go over what I did to get it working the way I wanted: </p> <h2>The Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Have only blog post that are in the Podcast category be in the RSS Feed for the show </li> <li>Create post that had the mp3 file associated with it but not visible on the post.&nbsp; We want everyone to subscribe. </li> </ul> <h2>The Solution</h2> <p> <strong>Getting the mp3 file to show in the RSS feed</strong> </p> <p> It took me a few tries and a few forums post to figure out how to get the mp3 file to show up in the RSS feed.&nbsp; It seems straight forward, use the file upload function when creating a new entry right?&nbsp; Well, that didn&rsquo;t work. </p> <p> It created a URL that looked like this: </p> <p> &lt;a href=&quot;/file.axd?file=myfile.mp3&quot;&gt;myfile.mp3 (70.00 bytes)&lt;/a&gt; </p> <p> After downloading and looking at the Blogengine.net source code I found out that&nbsp; it actually parse all anchor tags with the following regular expression &lsquo;<em>&lt;a href=((.|\n)*?)&gt;((.|\n)*?)&lt;/a&gt;</em>&rsquo;.&nbsp; For some reason the auto generated URL from the file upload didn&rsquo;t match. </p> <p> So, I put in a complete anchor tag like so. </p> <p> &lt;a href=&rdquo;myfile.mp3&rdquo;&gt;myfile.mp3 (70.00 bytes)&lt;/a&gt; </p> <p> And that worked great.&nbsp; Sure, would be nice if that file upload had worked but that&rsquo;s ok.&nbsp; I really want to host my .mp3 files on my <a href="http://lybsin.com" target="_blank">LibSyn</a> account anyway, so that works out fine. </p> <p> <strong>Setting up the RSS Feed</strong> </p> <p> I like using FeedBurner for my feeds, it allows me to move my site and not force everyone to have to re-subscribe.&nbsp; I also like to use a sing category so I can control what is in the feed versus what is available on the site. Blogengine provides a unique feed for each category, the id is a GUID so the feed for a category looks like this <em>http://mysite.com/syndication.axd?category=7f1c7a73-7290-4637-83f0-804b8499a5345 (This is not a real URL)</em>.&nbsp; Plugging that into FeedBurner allows me to use <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/UserGroupRadio">http://feeds.feedburner.com/UserGroupRadio</a> to point to the category but the subscribers just use the FeedBurner URL.&nbsp; FeedBurner also allows me to plug-in all the iTunes required tags without having to modify the Blogengine source. </p> <p> <strong>Hiding the link in the post</strong> </p> <p> Once I got the file showing in the RSS feed I wanted to make it so that you couldn&rsquo;t see it in the actual post.&nbsp; This may be a little overkill for some but I have learned from other shows I have done if I really want to know how many people are listening to the show I want them to subscribe.&nbsp; I realize this might push some listeners away but it is a chance I am willing to take to get some accurate metrics.&nbsp; And besides most of the listeners will be pretty tech savvy and will probably not have an issue. </p> <p> So to hide the file form the post wasn&rsquo;t too hard all you really had to do was remove the text between &gt; and &lt;/a&gt;.&nbsp; My new URL looked like this: </p> <p> &lt;a href=&quot;/shows/UGR-00000.mp3&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; </p> <p> This solution was not exactly as smooth as I had hoped for but, still I was able get my show up and running without adding any extensions or having to modify the core code. </p> <p> Thanks <a href="http://dotnetblogengine.net" target="_blank">Blogengine.net</a> for helping me get my show off the ground! </p> http://jaysmith.us/post/Blogenginenet-and-Podcasting.aspx jay@jaysmith.us http://jaysmith.us/post/Blogenginenet-and-Podcasting.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=b6f53000-6f29-4822-bd3a-c1592ba0af51 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:09:00 -0400 BlogEngine.NET Podcasting jay.smith http://jaysmith.us/pingback.axd http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=b6f53000-6f29-4822-bd3a-c1592ba0af51 2 http://jaysmith.us/trackback.axd?id=b6f53000-6f29-4822-bd3a-c1592ba0af51 http://jaysmith.us/post/Blogenginenet-and-Podcasting.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/syndication.axd?post=b6f53000-6f29-4822-bd3a-c1592ba0af51 User Group Radio is ON THE AIR!!! <p> <img src="http://jaysmith.us/image.axd?picture=2008%2f10%2fUGRadio_144x144.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="144" align="left" />Over the last several years I have been involved with the developer community that has been growing in Northwest Arkansas.&nbsp; After attending a Community Leadership Summit in Dallas, TX hosting by <a href="http://developingux.com/">Caleb Jenkins</a> I realized that many user group leaders struggle with the same problems, after looking around I realized that there wasn&#39;t really any resources around to help us.&nbsp; </p> <p> So I decided to start a podcast dedicated to the ones that keep user groups and technical communities going.&nbsp; Hopefully through open dialog and sharing we can help make it easier to keep them running and maybe even take them to the next level. The new podcast called <a href="http://usergroupradio.com" target="_blank">User Group Radio</a>, as you might have guessed, and you can find out more about it at <a href="http://usergroupradio.com" target="_blank">http://usergroupradio.com</a>. </p> <p> If you are passionate about community, have a story to tell, or have a question please email it to <a href="mailto:show@usergroupradio.com">show&nbsp; at usergroupradio dot com</a>. In our first full episode I will be talking to <a href="http://www.mpaladino.com/" target="_blank">Michael Paladino</a> about his experience launching the <a href="http://fsdnug.org/" target="_blank">Ft. Smith .NET User Group</a> earlier this year.&nbsp; Look for this episode to be released the first week of October. </p> http://jaysmith.us/post/User-Group-Radio-is-ON-THE-AIR!!!.aspx jay@jaysmith.us http://jaysmith.us/post/User-Group-Radio-is-ON-THE-AIR!!!.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=ad62c976-c75b-4380-83d3-1ec8bce68f59 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:09:00 -0400 Podcasting User Group Radio jay.smith http://jaysmith.us/pingback.axd http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=ad62c976-c75b-4380-83d3-1ec8bce68f59 0 http://jaysmith.us/trackback.axd?id=ad62c976-c75b-4380-83d3-1ec8bce68f59 http://jaysmith.us/post/User-Group-Radio-is-ON-THE-AIR!!!.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/syndication.axd?post=ad62c976-c75b-4380-83d3-1ec8bce68f59 4th Annual Podcast Awards: The People’s Choice <p> <img src="http://jaysmith.us/image.axd?picture=2008%2f10%2fpodcast_awards_logo.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="116" /> </p> <p> The Fourth annual Podcast Awards will recognize the best podcasters in the world by allowing the people (Listeners and Podcasters) to nominate, and then vote for their favorite podcast. </p> <p> This will culminate with awards and prizes being awarded during the 2008 Online Awards ceremony!. </p> <p> The nomination submissions start Sept 15, 2008 followed by voting in early October the site will see over 300,000 hits per day based upon 2007 levels. </p> <p> If you have a favorite podcast and would like to give them some props then head on over to <a href="http://podcastawards.com">http://podcastawards.com</a> and nominate them for a People&rsquo;s Choice award.&nbsp; Even if they don&rsquo;t win I am sure they would appreciate the nomination. </p> <p> You only get to submit the form one time, so be sure to fill in all the nominations you would like to make.&nbsp; Also, do not submit the same show for more than one category, unless it is for &quot;People&#39;s Choice&quot; or &quot;Best Produced&quot; and one other category. </p> <p> There are several great technology podcast out there and let&rsquo;s make sure they are represented well. </p> http://jaysmith.us/post/4th-Annual-Podcast-Awards-The-People82173bs-Choice.aspx jay@jaysmith.us http://jaysmith.us/post/4th-Annual-Podcast-Awards-The-People82173bs-Choice.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=ba5a50fe-b059-42f0-af75-e176621012bf Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:09:00 -0400 Podcasting jay.smith http://jaysmith.us/pingback.axd http://jaysmith.us/post.aspx?id=ba5a50fe-b059-42f0-af75-e176621012bf 0 http://jaysmith.us/trackback.axd?id=ba5a50fe-b059-42f0-af75-e176621012bf http://jaysmith.us/post/4th-Annual-Podcast-Awards-The-People82173bs-Choice.aspx#disqus_thread http://jaysmith.us/syndication.axd?post=ba5a50fe-b059-42f0-af75-e176621012bf
