Dear readers – I am certain that you’re familiar with the fact that this blog has existed in one form or another since 1999. Surviving the year 2000 issue, surviving the switch to web standards, and surviving several moves it is now going to survive another change: The Pordcast will be staying on this site until further notice. I’m sure that most of you don’t care, but for some reason people who run Podcasting sites just don’t appear to get it. For example, PodcastAlley assumes that the RSS 2.0 feed for this site each RSS item has an MP3/Audio file attached, as well as also assuming that each entry only has one enclosure. This is wrong and whoever assumed that should be beaten with a wet noodle.
So, I’ve changed the name of this blog to ‘the Pordcast’ because these very same folks, including Apple in iTunes 4.9, seem to want to use the RSS feed for the value of the title. This isn’t wrong, it just means that if I want ‘The Pordcast’ called ‘The Pordcast’ I have to change the blogs name. Sorry for the inconvenience… move along, there’s nothing to see here. Or maybe there is 🙂
RSS 2.0 enclosure spec says only one enclosure per item (item should describe the enclosure); WP guys ignores this. Photomatt says its “political”. Ugh.
James, I didn’t know this. Thanks for straightening me out 🙂
