Hello all.  I’ve been working to enhance the RSS Feeds of the blog.  I have now added a link to the end of each post that is accepting comments so you can follow comments to that post by RSS feed.  I plan to be doing this as a regular occurance.  If I forget, you can take the permalink for any article and add “feed/” to the end (without the quotes) and you can get the feed for comments for that article.  I’ve also added a feed icon on the left sidebar which will retrieve only items with the Podcast category marked.  Normally, this will only contain entries with an audio file attached.  I do have a couple of test entries without audio files.  I’m working on adding a page with RSS feeds for all categories.  I had to check every category for this post in order to force those to appear in the sidebar so I can get the permalinks for them.  I hope that doesn’t cause too much confusion.

Sincerely,

Ron

Hello all.  As the headline says, Podcast #1 is in the can (as they say)!  I have worked long and hard to get this, my first, podcast recorded, edited, encoded, published, and an RSS feed established.  It’s been quite an experience, and a good bit of work, but I’m proud of the final product.  Hopefully, the future ones will go smoother.  This is a short introductory episode which describes the purpose of the podcast and of C3 Energy.

I also tackle a real issue in this podcast.  I am in communication with an associate who has a factory that uses a huge amount of natural gas at an outrageous cost.  I am seeking your help and knowledge in finding a cheaper alternative fuel for him, if one exists.  The details are in the podcast.  Please let me know if you have any ideas as to how to solve this problem.

Here are the links discussed in the podcast:

• Biodiesel performance, costs, and use
  http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/analysispaper/biodiesel/index.html
• Floriculture Fact Sheet: Greenhouse … Alternate Heat Sources
  http://www.umass.edu/umext/floriculture/fact_sheets/greenhouse_management/jb_fuels.htm
• Natural Gas article in Wikipedia
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-gas

Although not specifically mentioned in the podcast, I also found these resources in my research:

•  Biodiesel - Is it worth considering?
  http://www.agmanager.info/agribus/energy/Risk%20&%20Profit%208-02.pdf
• Podcasting Underground Podcast - Excellent resources for creating podcasts
  http://www.podcastingunderground.com/
• The Levelator - Automatically sets volume levels in an audio file
  http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/levelator

I hope you enjoy the podcast and find the information interesting and helpful.  If you would like to comment or have any ideas for my associate, please leave a comment on my blog.

Sincerely,

Ron
