Podcasting with iWeb- RSS FEED TITLE?!?!!?!?

Alright, I put my podcast together using Audacity for the most part but used the new Garage Band to fix it up and add an introduction. Then I exported it in to iWeb from Garage Band to publish it to the web. You can see it for yourself at podcast.notsam.com. Now, for some reason when one hits subscribe to podcast from the site it appears with the RSS feed URL as the title. For this same reason iTunes won't accept it as the "Feed doesn't have a title." Am I missing something here. Obviously I created a title for it, and it does have one before I upload. Any help? Thanks

iWeb appears to name the RSS feed from the title text that appears on the picture frame at the top of your initial weblog page. This defaults to "My Blog" - hence your RSS feed gets this name.
I've managed to fix it in mine - http://web.mac.com/karen.hughes/iWeb/Curlypaws/Curlypaws%20Blog/Curlypaws%20Blog .html - note how the title on the picture (not the page title) is "Curlypaws Blog" and if you subscribe to the RSS feed, that is what it will be called. Not very intuitive - it puzzled me until I read the earlier post in here from jayeaster and then played around with my own site.

Video podcast with multiple RSS feeds

We have a new video podcast at LetsKnit2gether.com and we have three RSS feeds for our show, each with a different video file format. We’re using WordPress with PodPress to create the RSS and then we manually cut and paste the others. We have two problems:
One – We can’t seem to get the multiple feeds to show up correctly in iTunes (the desktop software, not the music store – we haven’t submitted to the iTunes store yet.) I can paste one RSS URL in the Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast window and subscribe to the feed but I can’t subscribe to any of the other two. When I try they appear for a second and then disappear. Tried in both iTunes 6 and 7 on PC and Mac. I’m guessing there is something in the iTunes software that prevents similar feeds. I read as much on the Apple iTunes tutorial page but our feeds are following the rules as far as I can tell. (www.feedvalidator.org says all is well too.) Once you subscribe to one you can’t change your mind and subscribe to one of the others ever again, ever! ...even if you delete the one you subscribed to first.
There are several video podcasts that I’ve subscribed to via iTunes software that have multiple feeds (GeekBrief, Rocketboom, 88slide, etc.) so I know this can be done, I just have to figure out what’s causing iTunes to choke.
Anybody have any clue what’s going on?
Two – We’re doing cut and paste on the WordPress generated feed to make the multiple xml files. This is going to become a bigger and bigger task as time goes on and we generate more shows. I’d like to just push a button and generate all three feeds from the blog. Is there a plug-in for Wordpress or stand alone software that will do this? I don’t mind paying for software if it saves us time.
Thanks!

How to submit a podcast with an RSS feed to iTunes

According to this page -- http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#submitting -- "In the left column of the Podcasts page, in the Learn More box at the bottom, click on the Submit a Podcast link." I'm not able to find the Learn More box. How do I submit a podcast to iTunes?

You have to create one with a hosting provider, or create one yourself: see this apple article: http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#_Toc526931673
You can also use an app like Feeder (http:/reinventedsoftware.com/feeder/) for Mac.

RSS Feed Title and Description

Can somebody show me how to show the description with this?
import fl.managers.StyleManager; import fl.events.ListEvent; var logFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); logFormat.font = "Verdana"; logFormat.size = 9; logFormat.bold = true; StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", logFormat); var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader (); var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nba_widget.php"); rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded); rssLoader.load(rssURL); var rssXML:XML = new XML(); rssXML.ignoreWhitespace = true; function rssLoaded(evt:Event):void { rssXML = XML(rssLoader.data); for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) { liLog.addItem( {label:rssXML.channel.item[item].title,link:rssXML.channel.item[item].link} ); } } liLog.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK,clickedLogF); function clickedLogF(e:ListEvent){ navigateToURL(new URLRequest((liLog.getItemAt(e.index).link))); }
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I may be a little late, but its here if anyone else needs it.
ActionScript 3 Code:
//startScript
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var logFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
logFormat.font = "Arial";
logFormat.size = 10;
logFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
logFormat.bold = true;
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", logFormat);
//RSS Feed
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://yourFileHere.xml");
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoader1);
rssLoader.load(rssURL);
var rssXML:XML = new XML();
rssXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
function rssLoader1(event:Event):void {
rssXML = XML(rssLoader.data);
trace(rssXML);
for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
"your list component name here".addItem( {label:rssXML.channel.item[item].title } );
function selectLog(event:Event):void {
"your description box here".text = rssXML.channel.item[ event.target.selectedIndex ].description;
"your list component name here".addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectLog);
//endScript
Note: You can use a classic text "Dynamic Text" box, size it to how big you want the text to f. From there, get a UI Scrollbar from the components, put it somewhere, and go into its Properties. Go to where it says "Component Paramaters" and then "scrollTargetName". Set this to your textbox/description box name. And there you have it. A full working RSS Feed Title and Description file.

IWeb RSS Feed

I am having issues with my RSS feed since I have forwarded and masked my domain name to my iWeb url. I tried to upload the feed to iTunes and had an error. I downloaded Feeder to generate a feed for me but have no idea where I should put this feed once it's been created to have it reflect on my site. Has anyone done this before?
Kiki

Well yes, the fact that Apple has not supported iWeb for the last 3 years is old news!! Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 3 years and iWeb has not been updated for at least 6 years.
The longer you continue to use iWeb and technology moves forward, the more likely you are to get things that don't work as expected.
Perhaps it is now time to ditch iWeb in favour of alternative software that is actually supported?
There is a lot out there - RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.
With most of these you can try before you buy.

Podcast any website, RSS feed or PDF document

Want to make your iPod experience even better? Would you like to listen to websites and RSS feeds you normally read?
Give http://podcastly.com a try. They have tools that allow you create podcasts from websites, RSS feeds, PDF documents or your own text.
If anyone has seen anything like this site let me know what it is, I'd like to compare them.
Thanks!

> subscribe to RSS feed from an external website to have the data available in a list or library
As a link or as a list of data from the feed?
If as a link:
An RSS feed is just an XML delivered via a URL. Add the Link to a Document content type to your library and then just link to the RSS feed using its URL.
See here:
http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2007/08/sharepoint-adding-hyperlinks-to-doc.html
If as a displayed list of data:
Just use the RSS web part, a third party web part or a SharePoint Designer Data View Web Part to connect to the data and display it as a list of items.

Problem with loading rss feed in flash

I wrote the following simple code to get started with loading
rss feed:
var document = new XML();
document.onload = myLoadHandler;
document.load("
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Business.xml");
trace(document.status);
trace(document.loaded);
trace(success.toString());
But the result I got is always this:
0
false
undefined
It is the same even for local xml files saved in the same
directory as the flash file.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks so much~

It's necessary to discard the white spaces.
Set the ignoreWhite property to true.
document.ignoreWhite = true;

Problems with the RSS feed for my podcast

Hi, am very new to this so apologies if this requires a simple solution.
I was told that to find the RSS for my podcast, I hover my cursor over the subscribe button and this will be it. When I do this I get:
itpc://www.jilt.org.uk/publichtml/publichtml/Podcast/rss.xml
I have tried this with itunes and it has been rejected as not working.
Other information that might be useful for anyone trying to help is that my url is www.jilt.org.uk.
I have entered "jilt" as the sitename on Iweb but this doesn't seem to come up anywhere.
Am very confused by it all and would hugely appreciate any advice.

You seem to be uploading to a server that uses a public_html folder as the root folder.
Inside this you have a copy of the public_html folder and, inside this is a copy of your website.
You also appear to have your files uploaded to the public_html folder because your podcast is available here....
http://www.jilt.org.uk/Podcast/Podcast.html
So that you don't break the RSS feed what you need to do is this:
Publish the site to a local folder and you should get an index.html file and a folder named "jilt".
Upload these to the top level public_html folder. Now open the site in the browser and hover over the "Subscribe" button to get the feed's URL.

IWeb RSS feed will not load with any site.

I am trying to display an simple RSS feed on my website and what ever site l use, BBC, France24, ABC, FOX News etc... whenever l copy and paste the RSS link in the widget and click apply. I am shown the message "The RSS feed source can't be reached. Try again."
Here is an example of how i'm inputing the RSS link:
feed://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml
feed://www.france24.com/en/france/rss/
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

If the widget does not work, search for alternatives.
http://www.google.com/search?q=embed+rss+feed+in+webpage
Found this one : http://feed.mikle.com/
Paste the RSS link without feed:// and configure the result.

Iweb rss feed not working

I published my website (www.nigelreblochon.com) to a folder, then uploaded (using cyberduck) to my webhost. For it to work properly there, I had to remove all items from the folder iWeb created for my site (lets call the folder nigel). The site works fine except for the fact that the podcast feed no longer works because the files needed are no longer in the "nigel" folder. What to do, I would give up the rss feed if there is no other solution. Any help would be apreciated.

well, i didi that. only problem is the index.html
that was sent with the iweb folder was for my .mac
site instead of the nigel site (since iweb always
publishes EVERYTHING! instead of just something.)
If you have multiple sites inside iWeb, then to have the index.html refer to the nigel site, just make sure that the nigel site is at the top of the list in the site organizer when you publish to your local drive.
am
i right in assuming that setting up a new user
"nigel" and working on iweb from there would rectify
my problem.?
Yes, as long as nigel is at the top of the list of your sites (or the only site of course) inside iWeb when you publish. You could make it the only site by putting a copy of your Domain file in the appropriate place in the new account and opening iweb and deleting the other sites.

IWeb RSS FEED UPDATE

Could anyone - actually preferably Apple - please solve the RSS Feed Widget error I'm having in iWeb?
The site is on [www.xantopia.net], now [V011].
As you can see, I've made a blog with iWeb. On other pages from that site, I'm referring to the blog through a RSS Feed Widget [also from iWeb]. I'm correctly referring to the web address as you can see. e.g. "feed://www.xantopia.net/V011/Blog/rss.xml".
I'm randomly duplicating entries in that feed, but the feed is not updating at all. Well, it sometimes does..and sometimes don't!
I've tried everything. I can only guess he's keeping some cache from old RSS feeds and as such redisplay what once was...
The very basic functionality I'd like to have is to [RESET] the feed, so whatever I'm doing with my entries, the feed gets updated to what really is in there.
Thanks so much for helping me out.

The method for transferring iTunes to another feed is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
However as this involves adding a tag to the feed you cannot do it in iWeb itself. You could do it this way:
Download your feed and open it in TextEdit in PLAIN TEXT MODE, not Rich Text which is often the default.
Add the tag as described in my page.
Re-upload the feed using an FTP program. Do not subsequently make any amendments in iWeb for two weeks.
Alternatively email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move it (give them the URL of your Store page and both feed URLs) - there's no guarantee they will but they have done for some people.

Apple seems unable to reinstate my podcast after my rss feed is active again

I had a podcast on iTunes for several years called Punk Rock Pariah with Grendel. It was located here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-pariah-with-grendel/id448777825
At some point my website was not renewed. This caused my rss feed to go down, and itunes removed my podcast from the iTunes store. Now that I have my website again, I have the exact same rss feed as before, and I cannot figure out how to get my podcast reinstated. I have spent over an hour on the phone with Apple, and the person who responded to my support ticket I submitted clearly did not read my complaint because the response ignored some key facts. My RSS feed is: http://punkrockpariah.com/rss
They have given me two solutions, neither of which work:
1) Delete the rss feed from iTunes myself.
Because it is not showing up in the store, I cannot manage the podcast there, and thus cannot delete it and resubmit it.
2) Resubmit the podcast RSS.
I cannot do this because when I try, it says it is a duplicate RSS. I even tried altering it through a service like feedburner, which uses the original rss to produce a new one, but iTunes still recognizes it as the original.
So, I don't really know what to do. They have no workable solution and no answer on how to make a workable solution.
Thoughts?

You can try contacting iTunes Podcasting - per the email address - podcasts AT apple (dot) com
Tell them you want to get your show reactivated and that your feed is
http://punkrockpariah.com/rss
And this goes for the iTunes store page:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-pariah-with-grendel/id448777825
If they can not get you back up then you would need to slightly change your show title and the RSS feed URL - and then resubmit to iTunes the new feed.
But first I would suggest you try emailing apple and asking them to get you back and active again.

First...Stop screaming. It's rude.
Next...there are some minor problems with your feed. "Drum n Bass" is not a iTunes category. Stick with <itunes:category text="Music" /> remove the others.
Not required, but recommend to add an <itunes:explicit> tag with a Y or N depending on what suits your podcast. The iTunes staff will remove your feed if it isn't tagged properly.
MP3 audio files should have a type="audio/mpeg".
Keep the Podcast spec handy...the categories and other info listed in the spec.
Test your feed with http://www.feedvalidator.org it will point out problems with your feed.
The bigger problems stem from your podcast enclosure, specifically the URL.
The URL you have listed to the podcast mp3 apparently has changed so iTunes can't download the file. It also appears that you are using a "free download" kind of service that uses web page based downloads, which might account for why the URL keeps changing. Don't think that iTunes will be able to properly download the file.

Iweb RSS feed problem

I just posted my first site with iWeb and on my home page I want to use the RSS widget to display spinets from my blog page on the same site. I have published the site to my FTP host and now the site is live. (www.thezumbacrew.com) Now that it is live, I thought I could find the RSS feed of my blog and add it to my home page RSS widget and republish. Not the case. When I go back into to iWeb to add the RSS feed it says "The feed source cannot be reached, Try again later."
I know the RSS feed from my blog works because it shows up fine in Google Reader.
Any ideas?

You have an & symbol in the URL which may be causing the problem as it is replaced by %26 by the browser....
feed://www.thezumbacrew.com/TheZumba_Crew/News_%26Events/rss.xml
Special symbols are a NO in URLS in general. Try using "News-and-Events" as hyphens are more easily seen in URLs that are underscored.

Iweb rss feed stopped working

About a week ago all of my RSS feeds made through the RSS iWeb Widget stopped working. Some research brought me here: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'any' (anonymous function) www.icloud.com:1
Is Apple not supporting it anymore? That would be a disaster
