Trying to make a ‘subscribe to my podcast’ button for itunes

  I am trying to create this code in the test widget:

  <img src=”http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HeUulWvXGl9FThQNkUP8sA?authkey=-eMYMK9jpkw”><img src=”http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eiCH62WGCGY/STfjf5eaF_I/AAAAAAABXjo/skWgnEFMaSQ/s144/show4_03.jpg” /> Subscribe to the PODCAST

  I KNOW that it is the ITPC code that is the problem – but then how can I offer a ‘subscribe to my podcast’ button otherwise?

  Nothing has worked so far…

  Even offering a choice of subscription services would be better than nothing – even though I would really like it to be itunes…

  Thanks for any advice.

  Could we have a link to your wordpress.COM blog? The one attached to your username is a typepad blog and we have nothing to do with typepad.

  Post the code here between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 with the ~ on it).

  Oh goodness – this switch to wordpress all started because my typepad blog stopped working! And I thought I had changed that, but I suppose not…

  So – here is the code and the link is now correct. http://www.withinaquarterinch.wordpress.com

  ~<img src=”http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HeUulWvXGl9FThQNkUP8sA?authkey=-eMYMK9jpkw”><img src=”http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eiCH62WGCGY/STfjf5eaF_I/AAAAAAABXjo/skWgnEFMaSQ/s144/show4_03.jpg” /> Subscribe to the PODCAST~

  However, wordpress doesn’t accept the itpc:// in place of the http:// so instead when one clicks through we end up at a page with ‘live bookmarks’ being the only subscription service offered – which also seems strange.

  thanks again for any advice!

  Found a solution – thanks!

  Taken from the APPLE SITE – in case anyone else has this issue:)

  Linking to Your Podcast.
  Back to top

  If your podcast is accepted, customers will be able to discover it in the iTunes Store via search or browse. But you can also create links directly to your podcasts and share those on your website or in email. There are two linking methods:

  iTunes Store Link: The following link goes directly to your podcast page in iTunes, where users will have the opportunity to subscribe to the podcast. This link can be found for any podcast by control + clicking (or right clicking in Windows) the podcast’s art on its page in the iTunes Store: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=FEEDID

  Note that a shorter but functionally identical link is also available: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=FEEDID
