Q: How do I add my artwork to my podcast?

HELP PLEASE!

 

I recorded my podcast, uploaded to my website, etc. I tried to add the artwork to the podcast for uploading to iTUNES, but I'm not sure why it won't!

 

I asked my web developer if she happened to miss a step (when she added the RSS feed), etc., but she says she doesn't mess with iTUNES.

 

What am I doing wrong? I've searched the world over but to no avail.

 

Thank you!

    The artwork which appears in the iTunes Store is referenced in the 'itunes:image' tag in the top section of the feed (before the first 'item' tag). The image must be minimum 1400 x 1400 px, maximum 3000 x 300 px, JPG or PNG and RGB.

     

    You should always post the URLs of your feed and iTunes Store page when you have a question. In their absence I can only guess that you are using some sort of program or service to create your feed, and you will have to look in that for a place to insert your image.

     

    If this doesn't answer your question please give a lot more detail about what you are trying to do and how, together with the URLs I mentioned. And please don't post your email address - it's extremely inadvisable and an invitation to spam; the Hosts have helpfully removed it.

    Roger,

     

    I hope this is what you meant; I'M SO NEW TO ALL THIS WONDERFUL TECH!

    In my website, my designer created the RSS feed (I hope I'm saying this right); then, I want to link my website RSS feed to iTunes, so my 'millions' of fans can subscribe to my podcast; but the image won't upload. Do you want me to sent you the image?

     

    Thank you!

    The URL you posted doesn't work - I'm getting the error that the server http://www.beatricelouisacruz.com/ can't be found.

     

    The URL you post in any case appears not to be a feed, more likely the web page for an episode. You have to have a 'feed' - a text file in a specific format - which describes your podcast and the episodes therein.

     

    If you are having any difficulty with the concept you may find my 'get you started' page helpful: http://wilmut.uk/pc

     

    In order to  comment any further I need the URL of the RSS feed.

     

    EDIT: I've now been able to access your domain and the URL you quoted. The page contains a link to an RSS feed:

     

    http://www.beatricelouisacruz.com/feed/

     

    However this is not a podcast feed and contains no playable media. Wordpress usually produces a separate podcast feed; I made several attempts to guess its URL without success - you may not have enabled it. I can't advise on Wordpress but you may find their Help page of some use:
