Podcast URL change for RSS feed

Over the next couple of weeks we are changing the URL of the RSS Feed for our "Podcasts for Educators" channel.

We would not be making these changes unless they were absolutely essential and our next podcast will provide an update on some of the reasons for these changes as well as further information about our website.

The new URL of the RSS Feed for the "Podcast Directory for Educators" is:
These details are also available via the XML/RSS symbols displayed on this page and on our website.

If you are using a RSS or news aggregator to obtain the RSS feed then you may wish to change this URL manually via the URL details of your current subscription.

For iTunes the new URL should have been automatically updated in the next few days, which means that any new subscribers will be using the the new URL for our RSS feed. For existing subscribers via iTunes, this process will take a little longer as we have to implement a routine to make the file redirections via the HTTP 301 protocol, which is a more technical process.

We will continue to maintain the RSS feed at the existing URL so that existing subscribers who are not yet aware of the changes we are making will still receive our new podcasts.

Please do not hesitate to contact us via our website if there is any further help or information that you would welcome.

URL change for XML feed

We have changed the location of our current XML feed for our "Podcasts for Educators" Weblog. The XML feed now resides at our www.recap.ltd.uk domain name, not the www.ipodcast.org.uk domain name.

The full URL for the XML feed is now: http://recap.ltd.uk/iblog.xml

If you subscribe to the XML feed then you will need to update the Feed URL to the new web address to ensure that you are receiving all of the latest information about changes and updates to the Podcast Directory for Educators.

To allow time you sufficient time to make these changes, we will "keep alive" the location of the current feed until the end of 2005.

Apologies for any inconvenince that this may cause you.
