Listening now. Great intro Dave and Ed!

Oh, regarding the RSS feed, not a big deal to change that, but with some RSS readers, you can't change the feed url in existing subscriptions. Would you consider pointing the old xml podcast file to the new one?

How?

Well, I think there's a few ways to do that. First, I would try a symbolic link, but I'm not 100% sure that would work. An alternative would be to have php parse the old .xml file, and simply put a php include to get the new location.

Simple, just change the .htaccess file to automatically forward the requests. Basically this would be the ultimate "sybolic link". I don't recall the old "thoughtcast", but just modify this (that should all be on one line btw)...

Redirect temp http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com.........xml http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/xml/thoughtcast.xml

Using "temp" as the status parameter will return a "302 moved temporarily" header. You can use permanent also, but then the browsers would never look back at the old url.

Actually the best way would be to create something like http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/thoughtscast/ and use the redirect in the .htaccess to point wherever you wish.

[OSUKid7]

Oh right, how could I forget a simple .htaccess redirect? That's probably the easiest way.

I think I'll leave it the way it is. :-) Thanks for the input though.

It's called "Ed's not about to edit the Apache configuration file to enable htaccess in that directory, and the sysadmins have a long pile of other things to take care of first".
