Our Updated Design

17 06 2008

As you can see on any page on Podcast.com, we’ve changed our design a bit.  We have a new Podcast.com logo and header on every page, and at the top-right of that header you can log in to your Podcast.com account.  We also moved our FAQ (frequently asked questions) and Help to the same spot in the navigation bar on the left side of every page.  You may need to restart your Internet browser to see these design changes take effect.

Send us a message at info[at]podcast.com (replace the [at] with @)  if you have any questions about this or anything else.

Subscribe Now! … and Other Updated Podcast.com Features

18 04 2008

update to pip

Just making things easier around here — a few updates to a podcast page on Podcast.com:

  • We’ve made it easier to subscribe to a podcast using Podcast.com. You can go to any podcast’s page on Podcast.com and click the ’subscribe now!’ button; if you are logged in to your Podcast.com account, the podcast will be added to your collection, and if you’re not logged in you will be prompted to do log in. Easy!
  • We added a ’share podcast’ button that allows you to email a podcast you found to a friend.
  • We’ve hidden a few of the advanced features found on a podcast page (permalink, Web link, RSS feed link, and the other subscription options) under the ’show advanced options’ button. We think putting fewer options in your face makes a podcast page easier to read.
  • We added ‘log in’ links next to the ratings and tags, so you can log in to your account right there if you haven’t logged in yet.

We’re constantly working to make this site easier for you, so send an email to info at podcast.com if you have any other suggestions about these updates or any other updates you think we should make.
