Thanks for writing Gerhard. I'm on the phone with GoDaddy.com, my server, to see why those links are not inserted as their software (usually) automatically provides for me.

FYI, The Media Player Launch Player link at the top left also plays the prior podcast. Could it be that the mp3 file did not get uploaded?

Thank-you for your patience. There is a glitch with the 4 Mar 2008 DearMYRTLE’s Family History Hour genealogy podcast episode on the server side. I’ve been patient in that three times we’ve waited overnight for the GoDaddy.com servers to properly update the cache. Now the tech support people have given my incident report an “escalated” status.
So, in the mean time, here is a stop-gap measure for listening to the podcast:
Click to download the 55.1MB file directly from my website:
http://www.DearMYRTLE.com/DearMYRTLE2008Mar4.mp3
When I tested this link just now, it immediately opened opened Windows Media Player and started playing the file.
GoDaddy.com is one of the nation’s leading website and podcast servers. Let’s hope they resolve the issue of the failure of their software to integrate my uploaded .mp3 file with the text and links that I provided as usual. For your convenience, Ol' Myrt has reproduced the show notes on my blog at:
http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2008/03/challenge-4-march-2008-podcast-episode.html
BTW Gerhard, every time I attempt to reply to your @byu.edu email address directly, the ol' Mailer Daemon replies immediately that the email address does not exist.
