Re: Getting 'listed' on iTunes

Hey Matt.

I took a look at your site and found your podcast RSS feed. Unfortunately, it doesn't validate and in addition to that you are missing several of the category tags that tell iTunes where to list your podcast. Validation is a critical componet to having a successful podcast. If your feed doesn't validate, then itunes may even stop updating your show when you add new episodes.

Check out this link for Apple's podcast feed specs:

Now, here's a link to show you what is not validating with your feed:

http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=www.huntinjunky.com%2FHuntin%252...

Finally, I see you are using iWeb to generate the RSS for your podcast. There must be a way to add these categories in iWeb. I'm sorry but I don't use iWeb so I can't help you out there.

If all of this is overwhelming and you're not sure where to start to fix everything, you can post some specific questions and I'll do my best to help you out.

You'll get it all ironed out soon, I'm sure. Then, you'll be listed in the proper area of the directory!
