Posting Podcast to your blog

Now that you have experienced creating your MP3 files using Audacity, you're ready to publish it on the web. There are many sites that offer free Podcasting - I used http://www.podbean.com/. 

1. You need to sign up and upload your MP3 file.
2. Once your MP3 file is uploaded, you need to get the embedded code needed to copy on your blog.  Once you have copied the embeded code you are well on your way. (on the view page - click "Embeddable Player" this will take you to the embed code you need to copy)
3. Go to your blog.  Go to your "design tab", Select "add a Gadget". 
4. Once the Gadget is added, you paste the embedded code. 
5. Save and view.
