Are you looking for a site to host your [sermon] podcast for free? May I suggest Gcast.

Pros

• Easy to post and use
  
• Easy to subscribe via iTunes
• Post audio directly from your phone
  [great for quick ministry updates]
• Easy to embed a player & subscribe links into other sites
  

Cons

• Only allows MP3 files [does not accept MP4 ACC files]
  
• Audio only [no video or pdf publishing available]

Here is my [Kez] podcast, below I have the player embedded.




Other podcasting services that are worth looking into...

• Sermon Cloud
• PodBean
  
• Odeo
• Or build one using a blog and Feedburner [see here]

If you need help signing up/setting up your podcast let us know.

With Google Docs' presentation tool (docs.google.com) you now have the ability to publish presentation slides online within your webpage.

This would be a great way to embed slide decks of all sorts to your website or blog: announcement loops, sermons, tutorials, etc. You can either upload existing presentations built with other software or build new presentations right in Google Docs.

A nice bonus here is that it doesn't require the viewer to download a file or have specialized software for viewing the slides.

Not familiar with Google Docs? See our earlier posts [September 07] [April 07].

In the following embedded presentation, I've outlined the steps for uploading existing PowerPoint slides to your site (our email and RSS readers may need to view the C2.0 blog website to view the slides).

Due to the closing of Yahoo Podcasts, I have stumbled on a few articles and blog posts that suggest that podcasts may decease in the near future.
