To your left is a colored version of the RSS Feed example you will download. Although I tried to clearly indicate which text needs replacing even without color (from the first X to the last X), I provided this as well, as it may still come in handy.

• All writing in black is to be left alone.

• Writing in Orange must be replaced with your information.

• Writing in purple signifies appropriate input values, whether they be the only valid option, or only one of many. For example, within the <itunes:explicit> tag, the value can either be yes or no. There are no other options. With the <language> tag however, there are nearly 100 valid input values.

This example is to demonstrate the different sections of an RSS Feed, and is mostly conceptual.

• Red: States what kind of XML document it is, and that it is an RSS Feed. XML documents are used for many things other than RSS Feeds, so it is important for this to be included in order for podcast directories to properly understand the feed.

• Blue: Describes your podcast! Tells what your podcast title is, where the cover art is located, who owns the podcast, what language and category the podcast is in, etc.

• Green: Describes your first episode. Episode picture, episode title, episode description, and episode enclosure link (the link where your mp3 audio is being stored online), etc, are all described in this block of text.

• Purple: Same as green, only this describes your second episode. So if you had 20 episodes, there would be 20 blocks of this green (or purple) text, each describing a unique episode.

When creating a new episode, all you have to do is copy and paste an episode block, and substitute in the info for your new episode. NOTE that iTunes and others place your episodes in order, not by their location above or below other 'blocks of text,' but instead by their <pubDate> tag (date published). So even though green comes after purple (in terms of the latest episode showing at the top), if purple has a LATER date than green, green will show first despite their physical positioning within your RSS Feed.
