Exporting / Uploading Your Podcasts

Exporting Your Podcast as an MP3

Mac: GarageBand
At the top of your screen, click “Share” and then “Export song to disk.”
Make sure the box next to “Compress” is checked, and change “AAC Encoder” to “mp3 Encoder.” Change “High Quality” to “Good Quality.” Click Export and choose a location for your file.

Windows: Audacity
Click this link for an explanation of how to install the MP3 codec: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#Simple_Installation
This is a little more complicated! But if you run into problems you can rely on me and your group members.

Getting Your MP3 on Your Blog

1. Go to www.divshare.com and sign up for an account.

2. Once you’re in your dashboard click the big green button that says “upload a new file.”

3. Click the “Choose File” button, locate your mp3 on your computer, and upload it to divshare (note: you’ll have to click the green “upload” button once you’ve chosen your file).

4. Once your file is done uploading, click “Dashboard” at the top of the page, and your mp3 file should be listed near the bottom of the page. Click the link that says “embed” under your file name. Scroll down to the box labeled “embed code.” Copy this code and paste it into the “create post” window on your blog. Make sure you’ve clicked the tab that says “Edit HTML,” otherwise it won’t work.
