And I was right – tomorrow was so much better.  After a little bit of thought I decided to try to download another version of LAME mp3 encoder after I found this very helpful website …….. 

how to set up a podcast   which led me to this even more helpful wikispace ……….

Lame Installation - Audacity Wiki   which led me back to the LAME mirror site but this time I chose the lame-3.96.1 – www.overnet.org version

Looking, looking, looking … Yipee there was the magic, long awaited file I was looking for!  Back to my audacity project to try exporting to mp3 again, and, as they say, the rest is history!

Is podcasting easy?  Yes!  Just make sure if you’re using audacity, you have downloaded that magic little file called lame_enc.dll  and your speakers are on!

Is uploading your finished podcast to edublogs easy?  Yes! and it looks good there too! 

So what are you waiting for?

Two down, four to go!
