I am definitely going to add audio to my blog after reading this article. I know of several bloggers who use it frequently and the plug-in above is pretty straight forward. Thanks again, Morgan

Yep, lots of people just download MP’s to their iplayer/pad/pod whatever and listen on the daily commute to and from their work. Offering people options on how to access your content is a great idea.

Well if your blogging about stuff and just want to go the audio/podcast route then definitely start getting to grips with the audioplayer plugin and saving audio files as MP3′s and so on to your blog – might be an idea to post a ‘transcript’ of the audio beneath right? Really helps for SEO too.

AND look at uploading your ‘shows’ to the iplayer library ( I need to do a post on how to do that!) if they’re over 25 minutes long – heck you can sell them there if what you have to say is interesting enough to your audience! Go free first though, build a following and then see what happens….. ( I’m jealous of anyone that can do this!!!)

Also think about getting somebody else to transcribe your audio to text so that you can have it on the blog or available via a download text.doc or .pdf – e.g. http://www.transcriptionsservice.com – but shop around!

Don’t forget though that having your show hosted elsewhere is kind of ‘giving away’ your audience to a 3rd party. I’m kind of undecided on this one…

Having your own radio/blog show is a very appealing. The sky is the limit especially if you have an all ready big subscriber/readers following. It is amazing how much more blogs now use audio either as snippets and or as the entire message. Clive your right blog radio is awesome and we would be stupid not to take advantage of it. I know some of the equipment you listed above is on my x-mas wish-list. :)

Blog Radio is amazing, I mean to be able to have your own podcast or radioshow is awesome. For me it is much easier to say somethings then write or blog about them. I will make sure to get some of this software on my blog ASAP. Great Post and Thank You.

Blog Radio seems pretty cool. I mean who among us has not wanted to have their own radio show? I know I have. Regardless to that I just find it amazing how many avenues we have now through the web to get out information. Cheers Clive for again delivering an awesome post.

Blog Audio is not a new concept, but if you use it the correct way than the world is yours. As much as I love reading blogs, it is so much easier to throw on the headphones and listen to an audio post all the while reading other things on that blog.

Synchronicity besides being an amazing Police album is a brilliant idea for a blog I especially like the idea of having an interview and streaming it on your blog.
