Pod casting with Audacity

I am not a fan of pod casting! I watched the video on the homepage and followed step by step but was unable to get anything to work for me. After that I went to Googled pod casting and I found some good sites but I always got to a point on the site where I was not sure what to do next. I was super excited to make a pod cast, I was going to talk about some of my favorite quotes that help me get through the day. I downloaded Audacity but I could not get the mp3 thing to download and the youtube video made it look at lot easier than it was. So I just went to Audacity and started playing around but could not get anything to record. There is a good chance that it is my computer because I had to by this one by myself (dropped a glass of coke on the last one) so I tried to make it a cheap has possible by not getting all the "who haws." I am excited to see what my fellow classmates have done and I will def. be trying it again.!!!
