what is it?

YES! I know the trick…
When you are creating a new channel, after you link your Channel to the blog, it pops you back up to the top of the Channel creation screen (so you THINK you are done)…however, you need to scroll back down to the bottom of the page and hit the SUBMIT button.

If you have already created your channel, than you will have to make a new channel, because I found that once a channel has been created, you cannot get it to automatically cross-post.

Good Luck
Liz

Asking students to summarise the lectures is a great way of getting the students involved

Tammy: Thanks for the comments– it is VERY good to know it sometimes takes a couple of hours for new Gabcast episodes to show up on Blogger. They are posting right away to the blogs I setup on WordPress.com, so something must be going on there with Blogger on how it accepts posts from the API. There is no way to visibly ‘test’ settings to make sure they are going to work right… I certainly could spend more time wrangling with this, but I spent several hours this weekend on it and got frustrated… I was so glad to get it working with wordpress.com.

Andy: Did you leave the userid set to “token” when you configured your Gabcast channel for your blogger site? Did you make any changes from the default settings on the Gabcast channel configuration for your blog?

I am using GCast for creating a podcast using a cell phone and it goes to my Blogger site.

Hi Wes,

I haven’t tried the method you describe above; however, I have had success ‘embedding’ a Gabcast channel into a Bloger blog. When new episodes are published, they are automatically added to the blog post (sometimes it happens immediately and sometimes it takes a couple of hours…)

1. Go to the “My channels tab.”
2. Click the title of the desired channel.
3. Click the full player icon at the top of the window.
4. At the bottom of the pop-up window, click the “Add this player to your website” link.
5. Copy the provided embed code and paste it into a blog post.

I hope this will work for you.
