Reminder #1: Feedburner Enclosures

The last Tech Rag Tear Outs (published last Friday) podcast had a link to a PDF in the show notes.  This caused Feedburner to make the enclosure tag for the PDF and not the podcast MP3 because it seems to take the first file and do that one.

So … podcatcher clients got the PDF and not the MP3.  Bummer!

Reminder to self … don’t put other file pointers in my show notes … urgh …

Is this a fixable thing in Feedburner? Not with the current configs it isn’t.  I guess there is a way to tag what you want to be the enclosure, but that sort of defeats one of the key reasons on why I am using Feedburner.  It makes all that XML/RSS stuff that I was hand coding because of limitations in TypePad go away.

Anyway … maybe it will be a feature in a future release.  At least I recommended that on their forums …
