There are some things happening with the website, and I want to make sure to keep everyone up-to-date on what’s going on.
1. Comments are working again! I basically had to flush all the old Movable Type templates, which had dome some custom design work done, and use the new templates, which use a whole new system. But regardless, they’re working, so comment to your heart’s content!
2. The MP3 feed is having problems in iTunes for some users. If you’re subscribed in iTunes to the MP3 feed, and you haven’t gotten the last couple of shows, there’s an easy solution. In iTunes, go to your Advanced Menu, and choose “Subscribe To Podcast”. Then copy and paste the following:

This will fix the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience. I’m looking into why this is working in other podcast receivers, but not iTunes.
3. I’m looking for a WordPress design guru. The change to Movable Type has still caused some other issues I’m not happy about, and I’m going to move the blog from Movable Type to WordPress. This is as good a time as any to do it, and I might as well take advantage of some design changes I wanted to make to the site at the same time. If you know CSS and WordPress and can help, please email me at the address at the top of the page. I could go to eLance and hire someone to do it, but I’d rather hire someone who knows the show and the site already. I don’t have a huge budget, but I will pay you for your time and effort. Let’s talk.
Thanks for your continued support of the show! Tristan and I will be recording a new episode today. Look for it soon.
Hi Brian, I’ve been listening for a couple of months now. Love the show, and the style.
Something I thought you might like: Neil Finn was asked what he thought of other artists covering his songs. He said it’s like raising children – you take care to produce good people, but who they sleep with is up to them.
I thought it a great description of how an artist views people covering his material, his children.
(For relevance, I tried putting this comment on the Hester tribute post – which was a fabulous show by the way) but the MT comment issue stopped me.
Keep it up mate
