I know this sounds silly, but how do I update my podcast to include new podcasts?

I updated my blog with another podcast. How do I go about reflecting that on podcast alley.

Podcast Alley, like all podcast directories, periodically scans the podcast feeds in it's database for new shows. Probably through the use of some kind of web crawler. The frequency depends on the directory. Some check constantly, some check every few hours, some allow you to ping them (signal them) when you have a new show, some only update once a day. I don't know what PCA's routine is, but I'd guess that if your feed is valid and you formatted your blog correctly, you just need to wait a few hours to a day, and you'll see the new show listed.

I must have done something wrong. My first podcast is showing, but the second one is not there. I updated my blog about a week ago.

You need to provide some info that can help. Your feed address would be best, but so would any error messages you get from PCA or Feed Validator.
