Help with Podcast, please!

[Jim]

Does anyone here understand this business?
I'm trying to subscribe to the adobe Lightroom podcasts.
I have downloaded iTunes, set up an account, subscribed to the podcasts I want in the itunes store, but cannot, for the life of me, find this Adobe thing.
The page is:

http://lightroom-news.com/category/lightroom/lightroom-podcasts/

and if you go on there you can see that they say thepodcast will be on itunes. they also give a RSS feed address. In itunes that gives us an error "not a proper site" or something.
I can't work out what to do next and my wife says I'm to stop hitting the computer with my head and that crying won't make it better.

Pleeeese help! wot next?

Hi Jim, I subscribed to some Lightroom Podcasts last night called Lightroom Killer Tips. The whole process worked fine and after clicking on the subscribe button the link was added to my iTunes and the download started.

I added an rss feed from the site you posted above, using the Advanced menu in iTunes and pasting in the url in the box provided. The feed appears in my iTunes but thats about it, don't seem to be able to hear or see anything. Maybe its just not available yet for download.

The LR Killer Tips Podcast came from here http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/ there is an RSS feed on the right of the page which is transferred to iTunes, easy peasy

Hi Stephen.
I've been downloading Killer tips for some time, but only got itunes 2 nights ago.
(I had previously thought it was a really annoying thing my son had on his laptop that played garagehouse or something at 6.30 in the morning!
Anyway, I have subscribed to everything in the itunes store, now all I need is my wife's permission to sit in my office listening to it, but what I *really* want is that one on the Lightroom News page!

Who can you task with making that work?

What I really hate about all this is that Schewe not only understands this, he puts them together and he's almost as old as I am!

I went to the LL forum, Hoping to catch John Beardmore, but someone else gave me this link and answer. Looks like a wrong address in the original page.

>>I (PC and IE 7) got it here:
>>http://rss.adobe.com/www/special/light_room.rss

>>Hope it works for you too.

>>BTW: with the link mentioned there, I had experienced the same problem, >>then I used my own RSS feed link and it worked: that's a slightly different >>address.

It worked for me, I'm now downloading a *Shed* full of podcasts.!

Still, I'll see in the morning what I have, *and* she won't be happy!

Goodnight
Jim

BTW, was watching the interview with Scott Kelby from LR Killer Tips tonight. Now I know he probably makes loadsa money from his books, lecture tours and tutorials on Lightroom, but oh boy he is so enthusiastic about this program, it kind of inspires you just to listen to him talk

It rather does, doesn't it.
Mind you, I think there's a lot in LR *and* the new CS3 to be inspired about! BUT! for me, I have to make sure that I don't lose sight of where the original images come from! It'd be too easy to spend the days and nights in front of the "Devil Box" constantly tweaking and retweaking!
I've got a D200 in loan from LCE while mine is with Nikon, so am going to get aout, but SWMBO has me gardening this weekend. A whole day yesterday and more today.
Hark! do I hear her calling? Better go!

Stephen.
How do you get to 'Lightroom Killer Tips' - all I get is 'Internet Explorer cannot display this web page'. Do you have a special way of accessing the page or could it be something in my computer or Internet Explorer setup which is blocking me access. I would appreciate any tips.

Dennis, the site appears to be down at the moment. It was fine last night when I was on it.
