Title and Enclosure links in Blogger

To create title and enclosure links (which are commonly used to link multimedia files like audio and video) in Blogger, you can follow these steps:

Table of Contents

1. Adding a Title to a Blog Post

  • Log in to your Blogger account.
  • Click on New Post to create a new blog entry.
  • In the text editor, at the top of the page, there is a field labeled โ€œPost Title.โ€
  • Enter your desired title in this field. This title will appear as the headline for your blog post.

2. Adding an Enclosure Link (for Audio, Video, or Other Media Files)

Blogger doesnโ€™t natively support enclosure links like traditional podcasting platforms do. However, you can manually link to media files using the HTML editor.

Hereโ€™s how you can add a media file with an enclosure link manually:

  1. Switch to HTML mode in the blog post editor:
  • Click on the pen icon or select HTML from the top of the text editor to open the HTML editor.
  1. Insert the enclosure link manually:
  • If you are linking to an MP3 or another media file, use this code in the HTML editor:
<a href="URL_of_the_media_file.mp3" title="Your File Name">Listen to the Audio</a>

Replace "URL_of_the_media_file.mp3" with the actual URL of your audio or video file, and change "Your File Name" to the desired text.

  1. If you are creating a podcast feed and need to include the enclosure tag, you can add the following HTML in the post:
<enclosure url="URL_of_the_media_file.mp3" length="12345" type="audio/mpeg" />
  • The url is the location of the file.
  • The length is the file size in bytes.
  • The type is the MIME type of the file (e.g., audio/mpeg for MP3 files).
  1. Publish the Post:
  • After adding your enclosure link, you can publish the post as usual.

Now, when visitors view the blog post, they will see the title and be able to click on the enclosure link to download or play the media file.
