NOTE: This is a test review I did to see how I would create one. I used a demo version of iShowU for Mac which is why the text is over the video. Any critiquing, help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Redirect a Podcast Feed with HTTP 301
The quickest way to redirect your old podcast feed (or any feed or file) to a new feed is to create a HTTP 301 redirect. This is very simple to do. I used my favorite FTP application from Panic called Transmit. It’s Mac only but I’m sure other FTP apps can do this. Of course, this is all dependent on you having a server that will let you do this. I host with Dreamhost.com. If you’d like to sign-up with Dreamhost us the following promo code to get $50 off your first year of hosting: 50DOLLARS1YEAR
To set-up the .htaccess file follow the instructions below.
- In Transmit, make sure the “their stuff” side of the window is selected and choose New File … from the File menu. When the new file is created name it “.htaccess” and then double-click it to open it. I have Transmit set to open most all of my text files in TextWrangler by Bare Bones Software. Any text editor will do.
- Once the file is open, add the following code:
Redirect 301 /oldfeed.xml http://www.yourdomain.com/newfeed.xml
Where “/oldfeed.xml” is the path to your old podcast feed, and “http://www.yourdomain.com/newfeed.xml” is the full path to your new podcast feed. - Save your file and close it.
- Open iTunes, right-click (or control-click) on your podcast in your podcast library and choose “Update Podcast.”
- That’s it. Your podcast should update to the new feed.
Let me know if I need to clarify anything. I wanted to post this because I had a hard time finding this information on my own. I hope this helps someone.
