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
Subscribe to Comments
If you look at the comments that have been posted on a blog@USF blog, you’ll notice that there is a new checkbox at the bottom of the comments form: Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. If you select this when you post a new comment, you’ll get an email whenever a new comment is posted to that blog entry.

Regarding blog comments, I used to receive an email anytime someone had left a comment in my blog. I don’t recall changing any settings that would affect that, but now I don’t receive those emails. I check my dashboard frequently for comments so I know where to look, but I have my students blogging now and think they would benefit from the email reminder. So far they tell me they have not received any such emails. Has something in the system been changed?
