Activate the Plug In:

  1. Log in to your blog and go to your Dashboard

  2. At the top of the post next to "Add media:", click the Upload Video icon Addvideo-wordpress.png
  3. In the dialog box select your podcast file to upload (remember no spaces, uppercase, or special characters)
  4. Do not insert into post; instead, copy the provided link URL (i.e. http://blogs.evergreen.edu/myblog/files/2010/02/podcast1.m4a)
  5. Click Save all changes
  6. In your post editing window, use the Quicktime embed plugin syntax provided to add your podcast to your page. Example:
