    Guys?!

    I really enjoy the show, and you both have talent. But please, for the love of goodness organize yourselves!

    Every other week it’s like a maze trying to find your podcast!!

    There’s no link here!

    I go to your link to webmaster radio link and it’s still showing that the latest post is the “merge” episode as the latest?!

    Finally I clicked your rss got it from there. I already subscribe, but like I said, no link. And, I am not an applefan boy so don’t have Itunes.

    Great show, great information, with a sense of humor thrown in there. Kudos for all that. But please please get your organization skills in order so we can easily get your podcast!!!!!

    (cough) and if you could manage to tell a tale about how to write a post and have it only show in your rss feed it would be great too! ;) No hidden category, or hide post plugin as it still shows up in previous post. And no tubes as it leaves lots out and constantly messing with feedburner :)

    You need to change the auto populated password for wordpress. It generates a really long complicated password with symbold, and case sensitive characters. Thers is no reason for this and I almost gave up on loging in until I went to my inbox and copy and pasted it. Just a sugestion.
