Figure 2: Emily with iTunes and XML “chicklets.”

These graphics are commonly represented on Web pages featuring news or podcast

feeds, and allow visitors to quickly identify and subscribe to feed content.

Other common chicklets you might encounter include those labeled with

“Atom” and “RSS,” or even the ubiquitous, orange feed icon, pictured to the

right. Some of these feeds may be strictly textural news feeds, which iTunes can’t

display, so make sure it is a podcast feed before subscribing. I’ll offer some alternatives

to iTunes that can interpret both news and podcast feeds a bit later.

Clicking on either one of the CareerChat subscription chicklets will yield different results.

Go ahead and click on the iTunes chicklet. This will automatically open the CareerChat

directory in the iTunes Store, as illustrated in Figure 3.

The entire PoducateMe guide is available to view online free-of-charge. Fully printable PDF copies of the PoducateMe Podcasting Guide may be purchased and immediately downloaded for $19.95 ($17.95 for students and educators).
