Wordcamp 2007 Notes: Day 1: Podcasting and podPress by Dan Kuykendall (podcasting luminary)

WHAT IS IT?: Dan Kuykendall speaks about his WordPress plugin podPress

HOW DOES IT HELP MY BUSINESS: If you podcast, podPress can be an additional tool to help you handle your podcast files and other media files on your blog.

It’s 9:57am. It’s a full hall at the Swedish American Hall here in San Francisco.

Matt is just started the event. This will be my first live-blogging entry.

The first session is Podcasting and podPress by Dan Kuykendall (podcasting luminary). Here are my notes:

• Podcasing is about content in consumable ways via feeds
• Enclosure tag specifies the URL of the podcast
• Equipment
  • Microphone with pop filter ($100) - AKG perception 100?
  • Exteral sound card and allows you to plug into mic ($100) - Maudio mobile pre?
  • Software
    • Audacity (Window and Mac)
    • For Mac garage band even better
• Podcast whatever you are passionate about
• podPress developed specific to Wordpress
• Questions
  • Do you monetize?
    • Kuy gets PayPal donations, but day job is ‘app security’ and spends day breaking into websites
