iTunes PodCast Directory

In case you haven’t heard, iTunes can now handle podcasts. (if you don’t know what podcasting is, take a look at the wikipedia article about it.) You can even have your podcasts listed in the iTunes Podcasting Directory. However, Apple requires some new tags in the RSS2 feed for your podcasts to be listed properly. blog@USF now generates those tags, so if you want to advertise in the iTunes Directory, you should be all set. Please note, this adds your PodCast to the general iTunes Directory, not the “iTunesU” page for USF
