    Hello everyone! Great forum with tons of great info, im happy to have found it!

    I have been running a video blog for almost two years now but recently I decided to start a video podcast (once a week). Yesterday I released episode 1, when I say release I mean I uploaded it to vimeo and share it via a post on my blog www.greensoda.tv as I do with all my posts. A couple viewers suggested I create a video podcast on itunes for it so that they could download it and have it on the go. I figured why not, the more exposure the better, right? That's when I started researching how to submit a podcast to itunes. It seems pretty stright forward from what I read, but i have a few questions before a proceed.

    I get that I need somewhere to host the episodes (the video files themselves). My main site/blog is greensoda.tv which is hosted by squarespace.com - this is where i publish my content. Squarespace limits my file uploads to 20mb, therefore uploading video to that server is out of the question. I also own avillabon.com and have a hosting plan for it of 10gb (storage) and 1tb (bandwidth) with GoDaddy. Since avillabon.com is a personal website that only uses 170mb of the 10gb provided I thought I might use it to host my episodes. Im sorry if this is a bit confusing, I just want to give you all the info possible. Is this a setup that would work?

    I went ahead and uploaded the video to a new directory I created on avillabon.com:
    www.avillabon.com/GreenSODAtv/GreenSODAtv_Episode_01.mov
    Code (markup):
    Does this sound like the correct setup? If so, how do I create the xml file so that i can submit it to Itunes?

    Hopefully this is not too confusing...

    Thanks for helping me out!

    Alex
