 * Hello,
    Just started using WP1.5 and have managed to create a post with a podcast
   enclosure. It works from the webpage [http://ayurvedahc.com/shakti/?cat=1], and
   it is found by ipodder. I have used a feed: ‘page.xml’ format for feed info…not
   sure if this is doing anything.
 * My question is how to understand, create and link the wp-rss2.php and wp-commentsrss2.
   php pages.
 * Here is what I have done to date:
    In the post I added
 * > “Podcast feed:
   >  [http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml](http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml)
   > [Sadhana](http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3)“
 * 2. in advanced I put
 * > [http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3](http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3)
   > 
   > and [http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml](http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml)
   > but only the mp3 shows now.
 * 3. in the custom field i put
 * > key = enclosure; and value = [http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3](http://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3)
 * I know to put the rss2 & commentsrss2 pages in the url/shakti directory,
 * I tried to create an wp-rss feed but I dont know how to create a wp-commets feed.
 * Here is the wp-rss2.php feed:
 * >  <rss version=”2.0″>
   >  <channel>
   >  <title>Sadhana</title> <link>[http://ayurvedahc.com/articlelive/sadhana.xml</link&gt](http://ayurvedahc.com/articlelive/sadhana.xml</link&gt);

   > length=”16818532″ type=”audio/mpeg”/>
   >  </item> </channel> </rss>
 * The rssvalidator says:
 * >  This feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing
   > these problems.
   >  Feeds should not be served with the “text/html” media type
 * I dont know what this means.
 * So my questions are
    1. how to create wp-rss2.php 2. how to create wp-commentsrss2.
   php 3. if after creating these, do I need to create separate feed pages for each
   podcast or is this a catchall?
 * I’ve read through the forum threads, and studied at [http://podcastalley.com](http://podcastalley.com)
   to get to this point. Now I am stuck.
 * A simple step by step example would be great for newbies like me. Many thanks.

 * You seem to be beyond newbie status (to me)
 * I would also likemore information about how to correctly do this.
 * the “automatic” part doesn’t seem to be working all the time.
