Podcast Puzzles

While this assignment seemed straightforward enough--it is essentially a copy and paste operation--it turned out to be overly complicated and difficult. When I went to Podcastalley.com, chose something to add, and added it to my Bloglines feed, I couldn't actually play the podcast without downloading software that I did not want to download. So I tried going through the NPR link. I picked something and added it. It worked perfectly, so I left the site. Then I went back to try it again, and could never get back to it, or any other podcast for that matter. I eventually discovered that I missed a step the second time around that I did not miss the first time, but it was all JUST BY CHANCE! Anyhow, I had a pretty high frustration level with this one, and I think it is mainly because I am feeling the deadline looming and also because this topic is not as interesting to me. That doesn't surprise, because I didn't much enjoy the topic of RSS feeds, and this one seems rather similar. Good to know about, of course, but not where I want to spend a lot of time.
