  1. Now we are going to embed your podcast into an html page. Right click on the following link and save the file to your desktop to edit it: podcast.html

  2. Open the podcast.html page in notepad++. This page has both a link to the podcast, and an embedded podcast player. You will edit this page to link to and play your own podcast.
    1. First, change the title of the page.
    2. Note that the link in the href tag is fully qualified, which means it is an absolute link that includes "http" at the front and is the complete path to the file.
    3. Edit the link so that it correctly points to your mp3 file in your fit100 directory. 
    Change this:
	http://students.washington.edu/jhemsley/fit100/podcast/jeffcast.mp3
To this:
	http://students.washington.edu/yourUwNetID/fit100/podcast/
    
Replace yourUwNetID with your own UW NetID.
  3. Save your page and load it into a browser. Click you link and verify that it found your podcast.

  4. Now find the line that starts with an embed tag. This is a very long tag, so be careful when editing it.
    Just like we edited the last link, we will do the same with this one. Find jhemsley in the link and change that to your UW Net ID.
    Make sure the rest of the link points to your mp3 file.

The embedded podcast player will look the one below.

  1. Save your podcast.html file and copy it up to Dante. Test it out by playing your podcast.

  2. Congratulations! You're done!
