Now that you've created your podcast, you need somewhere to post it. The place to which you send it is called your host site. Posting it means making it available on the internet.

If you already have a website you can usually make your podcast available from it. (You may have to contact your webmaster to find out certain information to do so.)

If you don't have a website, there are many free or inexpensive places you can use. Simply search "podcast host sites" or try one of these:

• http://www.cyberears.com/ (Free hosting level & easy for beginners to use.)
• www.podcastspot.com (Great for beginners because they offer a free hosting level!)
• www.libsyn.com

Once you've signed up, follow these quick, easy, step-by-step tips! After Recording & Editing your podcast:
