On blogging

Now that I’ve articulated a little bit of the why and the what of my brand spanking new blog, it was only suitable that I’d stutter at the question of how ?
How to deal with technicalities like the following:

– uploading a flash animation. How ?
– uploading a podcast. How ?
– adding my flickr badge. How ?
– uploading video clips. How?
– incorporate some dhtml, javascript, xml. How ?
– use technorati tags. How ? what are they and how do I work them ?

Flash and Flickr and Video can wait for now… the podcast however is already under way.

Ivan (at myspace.com/werrlay) and I are cooking up PoV cast, where we’ll ramble about movies, music, comics and more.

As an immediate solution, and probably a permanent one (if hosting our mp3 files on wordpress isn’t as feasible), we’re setting up shop at blastpodcast.com and this: http://feeds.blastpodcast.com/povcast/index.xml is our feed for you to tune in.

Just copy and paste the address into your iTunes subscribe window and you’re set to receive what’s sure to be one of the best podcasts around. in spanish. in Mexico. about movies and stuff. Check it out.

PoV cast Subscribe and you’ll get a great Brazilian tune by Gilberto Gil. This means you got it, and a few days from now you’ll get our first official PoV cast.
(you should also visit povcast.wordpress.com to check for updates)

But the thing that’s still missing that I sorely need to incorporate here is some sort of code that gives the user the option to toggle between posts written in english and equivalent posts written in english. I’m not talking about some translating program, just a way to click back and forth between two different versions of a text.
Now, I’ve been looking through the documentation for wordpress over at codex.wordpress.org and from what I understand, I need to install some plug-ins on my wordpress in order to do this kind of multi-language interface.
So how can I do that ? any ideas are greatly appreciated.

So, till all the kinks are worked out and the podcast is up, enjoy this mostly-hypertext blog.
