How to edit an outline for the podcast directory

0. Download and install the OPML Editor.

1. Choose the New command from the File menu to create an outline.

2. Enter a headline, something like A Coool Podcast.

3. Right click on the headline, choose Add Feed.

4. Enter the URL of the podcast's feed in the dialog, click OK.

5. Choose Save from the File menu. Save it to your desktop, call it podcasts.opml.

6. Choose the "Open www folder" command from the Community menu.

7. From the desktop, move the file, podcasts.opml, into the www folder.

If your user name is "murphy" the URL would likely be:

http://hosting.opml.org/murphy/podcasts.opml

At this point, you may want to close the file, and open the file in its location in the www folder. Then when you save, the changes will automatically flow up to the server, and any directories its included in will reflect the changes you've made, usually within an hour.

If you have questions, post them on the podcast-directory mail list.
