3) Personal Testimony

I have had a lousy time with this technology. I have never done this before so my girlfriend offered to help while I was visiting her earlier this week. We created the actual podcast part, but for some reason my computer will not download the LAME part that goes along with audacity. I have been trying to download it all week since it seemed like the most likely option to work. Creating the podcast was a piece of cake, but the downloading all the extra things has been ruining my week. So now I have a podcast saved to my computer but thats it. I like the idea of podcasting and use them frequently to listen to music and such, but I had a hard time putting one up myself.


5) My suggestions would be to try out all of the different podcasting technologies. I am stubborn and believed that I could make audacity work, but time is up and I couldnt, so now I have nothing to show for the work I have put into it.
