Weeeelllllllll – we finally had a breakthrough with iTunes/Wordpress and why episodes 19 and 21 were not posting. So – all episodes should go up without problems. Yes, there are still several other issues that we are trying to work out, such as:

no picture on the iTunes feed
name still listed as “unknown” in iTunes
WordPress only publishing the latest 10 episodes at a time
Feedburner picks up episodes COMPLETELY randomly
and so much more that needs to be learned with Garageband (What? We can edit ourselves?)

BUUUUT…
…for now we are just happy the episodes make it out there into the world. The links in the shownotes are working. The Ravelry group is doing well. And it’s all fun. And that’s what it is all about.

If you are a genius with this stuff and want to help us – we totally love you. If not, we still love you, and hopefully over time we’ll figure out all these issues little by little.

Thank you for listening!
Eve & Michele
