 * TECHNOLOGY CORNER**

Hello Tully!

This is the technology corner of the paper. What I do is tell you about the coolest tech going across the web, and I even tell you how to do all of the things that we talk about! This time I am going to give you the __best__ and easiest steps for doing a pod- cast! This is where you can record your own memos and thoughts. To do this, you must have a microphone and if you desire, a headset as well. The headset is totally optional though. Here are my steps for making your very own podcast on the web:

1: First, you must make sure you have the microphone ready. Then, plug it into the port in the back of the computer or the one in the front that is meant for microphones.

2: Go to [|www.Odeo.com], when you get there. You need to go to the top where it says “sign up”. Don’t worry, it's free, and it doesn’t cause any viruses or pop-ups.

3: Once you make-up a username, a password, and you put in your e-mail address you are ready to go! Now click on the box that says, “Wanna be a podcaster?”.

4: At the top it should say “hello-deo, (username). When you get to this page you go down to record new audio and you will be almost done.

5: Now, you can record anything you want and even post it on their site! I hope you have a blast with this site!

__Things to remember__:

1. Be sure to not tell anyone your password! 2. The buttons on the record screen do work, just be sure to click the right ones. 3. All the way to the right of the record screen, look at the volume bar and make sure that it is up enough for the computer to hear you.

These are the easy steps to creating a podcast on the web. I hope all of you in Tully have fun with podcasting!
