Podcast File Name Usability   Message List  
Reply Message #137 of 41116 |

I wrote another article about podcasting and usability. This one, as
the title indicates, is all about file names. This might not sound
like a big deal at first but dealing with poorly named files wastes
time and energy. The article summary is below.

"The purpose of this article is to help people create more useful and
effective podcast file names. Good file names are easy to read and
understand, but they also help people sort and search for what they
want. A podcast file naming convention is presented for
consideration."

English conventions of month/day are not universal either. Many countries do day/month. It is impossible sometimes to figure out which method has been used...
