rcast gives you a simple way to create blogs, podcasts, picture casts, video or vodcasts, or just simple RSS feeds for the school newsletters etc.

To create an rcast, click the ‘rcast’ tool on the create strip, enter a title and click ‘Create my rcast’.

The first circle that will appear will be your blog header. You can add content to your blog by clicking on the content icon, and you can upload a podcast by clicking the podcast icon below it. This will open a flash uploader, using this you can upload images, video and audio to create a podcast.

Subscribing to a podcast or RSS feed

At the moment podcasts will only work if the machine you are working on has iTunes. To subscribe to a podcast or an rss feed, view the item which has the subscription available, go to the menu bar at the top of the page and hover over subscribe. You will then see options to subscribe to the podcast, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
