I’ve been spending the past several days working on my new video tutorial series WordPress Plugins Exposed. However, its not the video series itself that I’ve been focusing on, more what I’ve been working is the linking of and automation of Blip.tv and CastingWords to my websites. I’ve even integrated a bit of Feedburner action to help with Podcasting the feeds. Overall – I have to tell you its a beautiful thing! Check it out.
This whole process is really simple and allows me to provide video, audio and text blogs that are automatically posted to my website every day! The videos are also syndicated through Blip.tv generating lots of traffic back to my website. And best of all – its really cheap – a pro account on Blip.tv is only $8/month!
Here’s how it works. (1) Upload your Video to Blip.tv. (2)Blip converts your video to multiple formats and automatically posts to your blog. (3) FeedBurner picks up the rss feed for you and distributes it to Casting Words or other Blogs that you may own. (4) CastWords transcribes the audio from the rss feed and emails you the text for proof reading. (5) You add the text to your blog post. Like I said, its a beautiful thing.
To get started, you would need to open an account on Blip.tv. Its free but for only $8/mo., it allows you to get extra trans-codes to convert your video to mp3 and many other formats. This is extremely helpful if you want to have your videos transcribed to text and have that text added to your post along with the video.
And this is where feedburner and CastingWords come into play. Feedburner manages the rss feeds and CastingWords picks up the feed and transcribes the mp3 audio automatically and emails it back to me to be proof read.
Many people use feedburner for their rss subscriptions. But what feedburner also does is allows me to manage my podcasts and include links in my feeds.
For CastingWords to transcribe your mp3 audio, you will need to open an account and go to their subscribtions page. Here you add a subscribtion. Simply give your feedburner feed address to CastingWords and they will pick up your mp3′s from your feed.
With Feedburner I can also easily add rss feeds to my other blogs and link them together as well. Check out the bottom is this blog here where I’m publishing my feeds.
I still have a few kinks to work out of the process and get more familiar with Blip.tv but overall its just so awesome to have all of this occur without much effort.

Wow, this is right up my alley. Make technology work for us rather than work so hard for it – bow that’s what I’m talking about! I will, of course, have to start all the video stuff which has not so far been my forte!
