Okay guys, I am by no means a genius, but I am all about "teach a man
to fish." If anything I say in this post is wrong, PLEASE reply to
this thread and correct me!
With the coming of the new iPod Video, everyone is curious about how
to get their xml/rss feed into iTunes's podcast directory. Here's
what I know...
1. Set up your RSS
In your xml code, you should have this:
<channel>
<title>kitykity's vlog</title>
<link>http://vlog.kitykity.com</link>

[all the other stuff goes here]
If you add these fields, they will add that info to your listing in
the podcast directory.
2. Submit your feed
My feed is picked up by feedburner. So I go to this page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/
...and on the bottom left part of the page, I click on "learn more
about how to add your podcast to iTunes." Clicking on that will open
up your iTunes (you have it installed, right?) and take your iTunes
to a browser page where you will type in your feed URL. Mine is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/kitykity
3. Wait!
I read Josh (was it Josh?) saying yesterday that it takes about 48
hours for the podcast directory to be updated. That sounds about
right to me. I updated my feed's description, and within a few days
it was updated in the podcast directory.
That's it! I hope this helps.
