Its easy to describe, on my website I have a subscribe button, but unlike other podcasters (i.e the C64 takeaway) all my podcasts are listed seperately instead of on one page.

This might also help - someone said to me today 'seems podcastalley is setting up each of your shows as a diff feed'

I'm still unsure what your problem is. I see you have a blog, and on the sidebar you have a "subscribe" link with a link to a podcast alley page. What I don't see if a link anywhere to a *feed*. Do you have one? If not, that's your problem. You can't submit mp3 files to podcast alley and have them become your "podcast". You must set up and maintain an rss feed and *that* is what you give to Podcast Alley when you set up a page.

If you are hand creating your RSS feed on each episode, you need to add to the file, not replace what was there before.

What blog software are you using? It looks like WordPress, but I don't find WordPress' typical feed in the normal place. You should be able to use the blog's feed and not have to hand edit it each time you make a new episode.

As was stated above, I don't see a link to an RSS feed where a person can subscribe. You do link to the PCA site, but you should have a link to the RSS feed itself. Yours is currently at: http://subzero.ziphoid.com/rss.xml. But that feed only has one episode in it.

That is my feed. It is automatically generated by WordPress for me. I don't hand code it each week. Between the built in feed generation of WordPress and the PodPress plugin, I get a feed that seems to work perfectly.

If you want to hand code yours, then just look at other feeds and see what they have. You can see mine has several episodes whereas the one I saw of yours only included 1 episode. You should add to your feed, not replace what was there before.

It would also be nice if you stopped back in here and said "thanks" and tell us what was the trick to making it work. That way others can benefit from what you find out.

How does wordpress automatically generate it??? Is there another plugin required???

No, but because WordPress is blog software it just does it. If you are using WordPress just go to your site then /feed and you should have an RSS feed running there. You may have to turn it on (I don't remember), but I think it is on by default.

I just checked out your site and /feed does not work there. I am unsure what the problem may be. But you do have a feed set up I see. I hope it is working now.

I dont have a /feed directory - my rrs.xml is in my main dir - so if I were to have a /feed dir - wordpress would update it for me?

Do you have permalinks turned on? (Options | Permalinks) From my reading, you need to be using them for the default /feed to work. I am not real sure on that though. I have permalinks set to use the date for the post address at both of my WordPress sites. And, they both have the /feed address.

Maybe that is the key. I am sorry I don't really know how it works. It just does for me.
