How
To Make A Podcast
Making a podcast for www.harrypotterpodcast.net has never
been easier.
Step One: The first thing you have to do is make sure you've
downloaded a copy of 'Audacity' which
is free on the internet. This program enables you to record
your stories or songs or anything you want to put onto a
'Harry Potter' podcast. Please feel free to contact me if
you get stuck, and I will do my best to help you in any way
I can. You will also have to make sure that you have a good
quality mic, and speakers.
Step Two: Once you have downloaded 'Audacity' you will need
to find a story (making sure that it's NOT
a mature rating) and if it's someone else's, you will have
to ask for permission first before you record it.
Step Three: Record the story. As I'm still quite new to the
workings of 'Audacity' I can only tell you to record something
in one go, because I don't know how to put recordings together.
However, I'm sure if you looked at the programme, it would
explain everything you need to know. I just record a story
in one go, because I find it easier, but each to their own.
Once again, need any help? Feel free to owl post and I'll
try the best I can.
Step Four: Once you have recorded your story, you go to the
top menu in the left hand corner, and you'll see a dropdown
menu. There will be a place to click called 'Extract file
as mp3.' Click on this, and then a box will come up in the
middle of the screen. It will list a section such as 'Name
Of Artist', 'Song' and so on. As you're recording a story,
please put the name of the author in the 'Artist' section
and just type in the name of your fic. For example: In the
first box, I put 'What is the point of Chickens' for mine.
Once you've extracted the file, you need to get it to us.
The easiest method is to host it on a free file site such
as filefront.
Step Five: Before you hosting on filefront, you will need to
either register with the site, or log in. Once you've
logged in, you go to 'Upload File' which will be on the
left hand side menu of your personal page, with your
username listed above it. Once you've uploaded the file,
you will see a page with listings. If you want to check
your file, select 'Download file.' Wait a few seconds,
and then open the file. Listen to it in any music player
to check that what you've done is right. (I use Windows
Media Player.) Once you've done it, you must send the
link to Jay or AlexG2490 via Owl post, and if
they accept it, they will host the file for you. Wallah!!!!
You're done.
Kind regards,

What
is the point of chickens? A humourous short story. Ron
feeds the Weasley's chickens. An innocent event turns into
paranoia!
Through
the looking glass. We invite you to imagine a dream world
where all your favorite characters reside. Ponder a world
of nonsense and magic where the greatest triumphs and tragedies
of each character are yours to behold. As each character
prepares to face Voldemort, step through the looking glass
and glimpse their world as you've never seen it before. Welcome
to the HPFF Anniversary Story.
Henry
Fischer`s Enchanted Mailbox With the Horcruxes finally destroyed,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione can finally let their families and friends
know what has been going on, where they disappeared to, and what
they have been doing. But it's too dangerous to send owls, so they
start sending their letters to the mailbox at Order Headquarters,
Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Unfortunately, due to some kind of
mixup, the letters arrive at Number 11, where muggle Henry Fischer
finds them along with his electric bill.
Along
with the reconstruction of the site, I have re-coded all our
podcasts to make them a smaller file size. This will mean much
faster downloading for you and less space taken up on your
MP3 player.
At present
we are reconstructing this page, so over the course of the next
week or so, some of the links will be offline while we work
on them, but ALL story links are working.
