STEP THREE: CREATE XML CODE

Now it gets tricky.

Unless you love to program in XML code, you'll need a software program to help "code" your file as an RSS feed -- or you can use a blogging site's tools to create the feed. For many classroom teachers, both ideas are, well, scary to say the least. A program such as Podcast Maker, Garage Band 3 (Mac only) and others will do the hard work for you, so it might be worth investing $30 or so to speed through this step. (See iPod Resources for more ideas.)
