I have added enclosure links

FYI, I have changed settings on the blog to add enclosure links so that you all can post audio if need be.  The basic idea is that your audio needs to exist somewhere online.  That can be archive.org, probably UT webspace, wherever.  Here are some directions.
 
1.            You will need to establish an account at:

Archive.org, which gives a free, permanent URL address to your audio files.

 
2.            Convert audio files to MP3:
Save your .wav export as an .mp3 as well, either exporting to a different format in your audio editing application, or converting your .wav in a free conversion application like SWITCH (http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html)

  
3.     Log onto archive.org. 

a.     Click SHARE in right upper corner.  Upload mp3 file to archive.org.

b.     Keywords:  youth, radio, documentary, etc.
c.     CC license:  Noncommercial, no derivative/modification, international.

d.     Note or copy file name URL.  Important:  this link ends in mp3—look at VBR MP3 link on your archive page, and copy the URL (copy link location) ending in MP3.  This is NOT the main archive page URL; it is the URL for the actual audio file.

4.     New post at blogger.  Add enclosure link and then copy mp3 location.  

We'll see if this works.  It works for podcasts I've set up before (and in fact, these are the beginning directions for setting up a free podcast).  So hypothetically it should work, but of course that means nothing.
