Couple Of Issues With MusTech.net

I’ve been having a couple of issues with MusTech.Net so if things have been a little “different” with your experience, I apologize!

I’m still waiting for the PodPress update to be published. So you will not be able to listen to the podcasts directly from MusTech.Net until that is resolved.  I’ve also had issues with my ODEO feed in the right Sidebar.  It was causing a script error with the ODEO player.

Finally, I totally messed the site up when I was upgrading a number of plugins that I use and lost 3 of my last posts (Despite by daily backup!!!!) so I had to reconstruct those. 

Oh well!  Things are “kinda” back on track now!  Well I’m at it I might as well also state that I’m about 6 weeks behind on the ME Blogger Project.  My goal is to get that turned around very soon!  Stay tuned!

Even though I can’t post here as I normally do due to the problem with PodPress.  I’ve went ahead and put our new podcast up at at our Podomatic Host Site.  With this episode we have begun offering two versions of our podcast: A Standard mp3 based podcast and an ENHANCED podcast that is in the wma format.

The ENHANCED podcast will allow anyone who has downloaded the file to not only have a great audio of our show, but also have referenced websites automatically be opened, in time, as the podcast plays.  It actually is a totally cool and more educational way to experience a podcast.

Until I get them “up” here, you can find our latest podcast, entitled HD Radio, Earsets, RIS and More!, at our Podomatic host site:

For the Standard Podcast follow this link:

For the Enhanced Podcast, follow this link (make sure you check the notes within the post at Podomatic so that you can have the full experience of the enhancements!):

I’ll be posting these epidosdes at MusTech.net as I normally do when all the kinks are worked out with WordPress and PodPress…

Host Comments:

I am very excited to host this edition of the carnival with over a dozen of VERY interesting articles and topics. There are a number of new contributers and bloggers in this edition. As in the last edition, posts were saught from any topic related to music education. This edition contains such a treasure trove of knowledge that I’m sure you will want to read them all in one sitting… if you can!

Joel and I are very excited about the tremendous growth in the field of music education bloggers and we (as well as many of our other good friends!) are working hard to continue to provide unique opportunities for them and continue to grow the music education blog community. The Music Education Blog Carnival is just one of those ways to continue to introduce ourselves to each other and the world through our writings about a topic we are passionate about!

If you are reading this and are an active music blogger, I encourage you to join our next carnival which will be hosted by the Elementary Music/Music Technology blog and current TI:ME president, Amy M. Burns. Also, please consider joining the ME Blogger campaign. The campaign started in January 2008 and is finishing on December 31st 2008. The goal…to identify and solicit 100 of the top music educator bloggers known in…, well, our known universe!

I wish you all the best on your upcoming school years and encourage you to “get back to blogging” as you all are “getting back to school!”. Keep the Faith and the great blogging coming!
