Printable copies of the guide are available for purchase and immediate download at

visit the CareerChat home page (http://www.units.muohio.edu/careers/students/podcast/) and click on
the XML chicklet.
Depending on whether your browser is capable of reading RSS feeds, you’ll either see a
Web page containing structured feed information (Figure 5), or a page of code that will
make it appear as if your browser threw up (Figure 6). 
Figure 5: The CareerChat XML feed rendered in Safari Web browser
Figure 6: What the-? CareerChat XML feed rendered in Firefox Web browser.
As you see, Firefox cannot process RSS feeds. This isn’t problematic, however, because
what we’re interested in here is the feed’s URL in the address bar at the top of the page. 
For some reason, only in Safari, when you click the XML chicklet, the feed URL is
rewritten from the typical format of http://feeds.FeedBurner.com/CareerChat to an
alternate format of feed://feeds.FeedBurner.com/CareerChat. iTunes will understand the
feed: prefix in the URL, but other podcatchers will not.
