Podcast- Posting a song


A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and downloaded through web syndication.
The mode of delivery differentiates a podcast from other means of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download, or streamed webcasting. A list of all the audio or video files currently associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software known as a podcatcher (for example, iTunes, Zune, Juice, or Winamp) that can automatically access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. New files are thus downloaded automatically and are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simpler and more convenient access to episodic content.[1][2] Commonly used audio file formats are Ogg Vorbis and MP3. HOMEWORK: POST A SONG AND THE LYRICS SO THAT IT CAN BE LISTENED FROM YOUR BLOG.




Hi Barbie
Hi Ken!
Do you wanna go for a ride?
Sure Ken!

I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party!

I'm a blond bimbo girl, in the fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,

You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

The place now called "the United States" has been inhabited since prehistoric times by Native American tribes. In time, Europeans "discovered" and eventually began establishing colonies in the eastern part of today's United States of America. The Netherlands, Spain, France, and England were the primary European countries that competed to settle and exploit the resources of the "New World." After several attempts, the British founded Jamestown, their first successful North American colony. Jamestown was a small settlement on the James River in the present-day state of Virginia. This first colony was expanded into 13 colonies as the British Crown divided up the land along the coast of the American continent: IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, TRY THIS LINK AND THE ACTIVITIES SUGGESTED: USA:
