  5. A man with a passion….I’m pretty new to wordpress and wasnt sure how you could podcast using the wordpress.com. I have to look into this. Anyway thanks for sharing..
    Paul….

    • Hey Paul! Not sure how actual podcasting works with wordpress but the support guys are usually very helpful. I post my sermons by using an mp3 digital recorder to record them and then post them using the media options but this does require the purchase of extra space. I enjoyed browsing your blog and look forward to reader more from you. Thanks for stopping by and for joining the journey!
