If you’re not going to use Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin (or some othermethod) to publish your podcast, you can instead use the Blubrry Publisher tool, found within your Podcaster Dashboard.
How to use Blubrry Publisher
The video below explains how to get started with Blubrry Publisher. You must have an active Blubrry Media Hosting subscription in order to use Blubrry Publisher.
Note: you need to use only one solution to publish your podcast; Blubrry Publisher or Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin for WordPress. You don’t need to use both solutions at the same time.
Blubrry Publisher Initial Setup
In order to use Blubrry Publisher, you’ll need to do an initial setup within your Blubrry Podcaster Dashboard. If you don’t have a dedicated podcast website, you’ll want to follow the steps in the Option 1 section below. If you have a dedicated podcast website but still want to use Blubrry Publisher to publish your podcast, follow the steps in the Option 2 section. Note: you can always change these settings in the future, if needed.
Option 1: Using Blubrry Publisher Without an External Website
1.) Log in to your Blubrry Podcaster Dashboard and click the gear icon inside the Podcast Landing Page box on the right.
2.) Select “I don’t need a website, the episode pages provided by blubrry.com are sufficient.” and click the Save button.
You should see a “Website settings saved successfully.” message. You can now return to the main page of your Blubrry dashboard.
Option 2: Using Blubrry Publisher With an External Website
1.) Log in to your Blubrry Podcaster Dashboard and click the gear icon inside the Podcast Landing Page box on the right.
2.) Select “I have a website” and enter your full website URL, beginning with https:// in the Website URL field; click the preview button.
3.) Note: if you’re using WordPress for your dedicated podcast website, you may see a “We detected you are using WordPress” message. This is normal and does not mean you have to publish your podcast through your WordPress site. You can still use Blubrry Publisher. Select “No, I want to podcast from blubrry.com.” and click the Save button.
You should see a “Website settings saved successfully.” message. You can now return to the main page of your Blubrry dashboard. Next, you should complete all of the settings for your Blubrry Publisher podcast RSS feed.
