We've talked about RSS (Real Simple Syndication) a little bit before, but I wanted to added a little more information to help everyone know how to use it, since it can be so helpful.

Kelly Mullins posted early the Screencast.com and RSS article a few weeks ago. As a follow-up to that article, here is a video (2:58 minutes) that will walk you through the following:

* What RSS is

* How content owners can use RSS

* How viewers benefit from RSS

* How users can subscribe to content using RSS

I know RSS has been a great tool for me to stay up to date on the blogs and sites that I like to regularly follow, but don't want to have to visit to find out what's new.

If you've never used RSS before, it's super simple to use. If you decide that you no longer the subscription, you can always get rid of it.

You can even subscribe to this blog to make sure you keep up to date on lots of tips, tricks, and news about Screencast.com. Click on the RSS icon to get started.

You can upload a folder or playlist to the iTunes store so others can subscribe to it from within iTunes. When you add your content to the iTunes store, it makes your content available to anyone who use the iTunes software application. Adding your folder or playlist to the iTunes store also makes your content searchable from within iTunes.

In order to upload to the iTunes store, you must have:

• The iTunes application installed on your computer.
• An iTunes account.
• Your content approved. All content uploaded to the iTunes Store is evaluated by a moderator. This process takes 2-3 days. During this time, the content is not available for viewing.
• iTunes compatible content in your folders or playlist. Any content in a folder or playlist not iTunes compatible is not sent to the iTunes feed.

There are two parts to uploading to the iTunes store:

1. Enabling the iTunes feed on your folder or playlist within Screencast.com.

2. Submitting the content to the iTunes store using the iTunes application.

We have given you an overview of the iTunes submission process below. For more in-depth instructions, read the iTunes Store Help Center article.
