PodcastAlley shows me a warning

[C100]

Hi there

My podcast validates without any problems on all the other services, however here at PodcastAlley I get the following error -:

WARNING Channel has missing or invalid itunes:keywords tag. (code: 6580)


here is my link http://ccgi.junction31.plus.com/IPOD/dircaster.php

Any idea?

The messaging of that needs to be updated, but here is what is going on:

You feed is just fine. You can submit it anywhere without issue. The only reason it came up was because you are missing the itunes:keywords tags from your channel level of your feed.

This is intended to be a way of you to learn more about your podcast feed and to find out ways to make it better.

With that said, your feed should work everywhere fine. Although, keywords do help your show get found on different website and in iTunes, so it is a good idea to fill them out :D

A few things about your feed:

Keywords
you can add keywords in podomatic by going to the podomatic.com website and clicking "my podcasts" and then scrolling to the bottom of the page. there is a section called "tags for your podcast". fill those in and the itunes keywords will show up in your feed.

Also...
From this page it seems you can also edit your album art, show title and description. Im sure the rest of the feed properties are in there too but it seems a little hard to find them. Take some time to annalyze it and Im sure you will find them :) As for audacity, it has nothing to do with how your feed will look in iTunes. It is only used to record and save your mp3. As a side note, however, if you take the mp3 output from audacity into iTunes, you can add in ID3 information like title, track number, artists, year, album art etc before you upload it so it shows up in peoples portable media devies.
