The index has moved to http://paganpodcasting.org. Please go there from now on to get the latest indexes.

Also, if you are interested in indexing some shows (existing or new) please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll still be heading up the project at PPP and will be closing down this site in the very near future.

My email is HedonsDog@Comcast.net

Good News! I’m getting a new home!

Good News Everyone!

I have been working with Dave from the Proud Pagan Podcasters, and the Podcast Index is getting a new home. The podcast index will be moved over to the Proud Pagan Podcasters site in the very near future. Hopefully, this weekend, but you all know how real life likes to assert it’s own schedule on everyone.

Membership to PPP will NOT be required to have your index there, but I think most of you are members of PPP anyway, so that isn’t a major concern. However, If you would rather not have your index on PPP for whatever reason, just let me or Dave know and we can make sure the indexes are removed.

For the time being, you may continue sending your indexes to me and I’ll ensure they are updated once my site is imported into PPP. All of the sticky details are being worked out now and you will be notified when things are settled as to where you send indexes, etc. Also, we are hoping this move will bring more visibility to the index and to enlist volunteers to help with the indexing. This should allow more Podcasts to be indexed and generate more traffic to the ones that already are so it’s a big Win / Win.

Eventually, the current pagan podcast index blog site will fade into blackness, and you will be informed when that happens as well. With the new home on the PPP I won’t need to keep a separate blog.

Until you hear from me again, I send you all my Blessings, Love and all that brings you Joy

If I ever start to forget why I wanted to do something for the podcast community, all I have to do is look at the stream of love that keeps pouring into my inbox. Thanks everyone for the support you shown me in the last few days. You all warm my heart.

Blessings and Love to all,

Time to put the index aside

hedonsdog — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:01:57 +0000

I’m going to send this out to all the pertinent people through email, but wanted to post it here first. I have been doing the index for almost 2 years now and I think the time has finally come for me to put my indexing of podcasts aside, at least for the time being. I am doing this for several reasons.

First and probably the most important, I have been finding over the past few months that I am no longer listening to podcasts to absorb their content. It is more like I am merely skimming them to be able to get the index out. As a result, I am missing a lot of the fun and information they provide.

Second, there are several new podcasts that I am wanting to listen to. One in particular that I love is by a couple of baby pagans just learning to walk the path. Pagan Hooligans. This one interests me just for that very reason. I have just been where they are and am loving the similarities to my own journey. When I do indulge myself, I am feeling guilty because I’m not getting an index out.

Third, and also very important, I index at work. I am a computer programmer by trade and am behind a computer 7-9 hours a day which gives me a perfect opportunity to do the index. I can jot down notes while working and email them to my home account to enter that night. However, after paying attention to my working habits over the past few weeks, I am finding that I’m not giving my full attention to my work when I’m indexing. We are just spinning up on the next release of our product, and I want to be able to devote all of my attention to the project and not the index.

Finally, if I’m not able to index because of vacation or project load the back log amplifies the issues above and that just takes the enjoyment right out of it and I don’t want something I love doing to become a chore.

My intent is to step back and get back to listening to podcasts for enjoyment and information, not to close the site down for good. This will allow me to be more vocal in the community and to get more enjoyment out of the community as well.

So, effective immediately, I will no longer be indexing podcasts. I will, however, still be updating the site with any indexes sent to me. So any of the podcasters that still want to send me indexes, I will still put them out there for you. Also, if any of the podcasts that I do the index for wants to send me indexes, I’ll put those out there for you as well. You can just look at your index pages on the site for the format.

If any of the listeners or hosts wish to take over this labor of love or wish to add thier own index information themselves, just let me know and I’ll set up a login for you. Like I said, I’m not shutting down, just not indexing myself anymore. At least for the time being. And if you didn’t get an email from me, I apologize. I tried to include everyone but may have missed one or two.

I send you all Blessings, Love, and all that brings you Joy
