I think it would be really helpful to have an index of the podcasts that did not get scrambled each time someone made a new post to it. I often recommend podcasts to people on other boards and we have so many episodes now :clap: that it can be difficult to find them. To find them I usually go to iTunes, find out which episode I need and then go to the forum and search through it until I find that episode.

If there was a sticky that no one could post to the episodes could not get out of order. You could also add a title to the early podcasts that identifies what is in them. Each episode in the index could have a link to the thread for that podcast.

I have kept a list when I download the shows so if this helps...

You are organized. :)

Sure am glad your Nittany Lions won. The Big Ten isn't looking so good in the bowl standings.

I didn't even watch the game. I fell asleep on the couch after a good dinner at the inlaws. :) (BTW - I will definitely root for Ohio over Florida)

Anyway maybe I can work on putting links in to that list...

Actually the extended description might be useful also. What do you think?

We've watched football about all day :) During bowl season I always cheer on the Big Ten. I was even rooting for Shawn's team today!

I think that the extended descriptions would be useful, especially on the Q & A shows.

thanks both of you..
as noted in Ep85 i am looking for a web developer i can work with that will help be build a good searchable index/listing of the shows.

have had a person or 2 offer there skills on it, but nothing has moved foward yet, another thing i hope to get underway this month.. :)

theres the links, but I think the keywords mess up a few of the links

I also have a text list with the links. Since they get formatted with the title when posted.

This is just what I was thinking of!

Just FYI, i talk to a guy tonight who is going to start working on putting an index together for us.. :)

You have to :love!: the people around here!

i think something that would work good is to put the ep. number as the track number i just organized all the ep. on itunes sorta like salty(NaCl) up there it works pretty good plus the descriptions about the ep. is nice.
actually Rob i know you said you were going to take more time on the ep., so i think if you took a little bit and put a outline for it in the decription.... or in comments for the file it might help going back. or putting outlines online.

hey ben, one of the other things that is going on right now is that one of my Staff is going through all the podcasts and indexing them by discussion points and topics (in FAR more details that my simple topic title)
this is going to get worked into the index, so topics can be searched easily.
i did for a while post full outlines and show notes, but VERY few people ever looked at them, and since i stopped them many months ago, you are the first to actually saw something.. :)
