Send us your podcast stickers. Trade you one of yours for one of ours. We’ll send you back some Podcast Insider stickers and some Blubrry merch. Send a self-address stamped envelope to: Blubrry Podcasting 150 E. Campus View Blvd. Columbus, OH 43235 Best Practice: Keep it simple: Just because you can write separate show notes for each app directory, doesn’t mean you need to. The fewer choices directories have to choose from when pulling your RSS feed, the better. One post, with everything you’d like displayed everywhere is best. It’s hard to control what apps and directories do with your RSS feed. RSS is standard and each directory decides on different tags to display in their app. We’ll be doing more research on this soon.
