Know this post is older, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing this idea. I’ve been looking to get a podcast going for a couple of my blogs and this seems fairly painless for someone not all that technical. Thanks again!

@Robin: Thanks! I’m going give that a try.

@George: Thanks for finding, bookmarking and Stumbling here! It’s appreciated.

@Bob: Thanks for those links! I’m thinking the ‘skip parts of post’ tags and the PodNova ‘claim’ tag will work swimmingly together. And I love the concept of streaming the *entire* feed.

I did try the Wordpress button plugin for a bit, but wasn’t pleased at the size of it in my layout. I will likely revisit that in the near future.

Thanks for using Odiogo. A few comments:
– It is possible to instruct Odiogo to skip parts of a post through special tags. See http://blog.odiogo.com/index.php/2007/07/02/instructing-odiogo-to-skip-parts-of-a-post/ for more details.
– We have developed a Listen Button plugin that allows to listen directly to a post. Plugin info for Wordpress can be found http://blog.odiogo.com/index.php/2007/05/12/wordpress-odiogo-listenbutton-plug-in-instructions/.
– Finally, we also publish a .m3u file for those who want to stream the articles of a specific feed. The url for your blog is http://podcasts.odiogo.com/blog-bradgrier/podcasts-m3u.php.

Of course, should you have any question, feel free to contact us.

Cool. I am going to have check those out. I am not good at multi tasking though, so I might be better off reading the post and not trying to listen to them while I am doing other things.

PS. I just stumbled and bookmarked this…

Sure you could claim those feeds, no problem. You have access to the content published in them, so if you just paste in the verification code there, and you continue the process as described on the claim-page you should be able to claim it.

Hey Robin, thanks for checking in!

That link seems to require potential listeners already have (or sign up for) a PodNova account. The links I used don’t, and I’d like to expose readers / listeners to the service without putting a barrier in their way right off the top.

But I have another question now. PodNova allows me to ‘claim’ content streams. Is it possible for me to claim the Talkr and Odiogo stream? I don’t have access to actual pages to embed the required codes, but would like to identify myself with those streams produced by those services.

Is it possible?

Interesting post, thanks. But why not use the PodNova chicklet available here: http://www.podnova.com/channel/374975/promote/
