Instructions for Featuring Quick and Dirty Tips Shows on Your Blog

You can now feature your favorite Quick and Dirty Tips show on your web site or blog. The widgets shown here (scroll down) will display the titles and play the audio clips for the ten most recent episodes of the selected podcast show. Users clicking the “Listen” button in the widget as it appears on your site will be able to listen to the complete podcast episode without leaving your blog.

If you’re familiar with widgets and know how to embed them on your web site or blog, then all you need to do to post one of these is click on the “share” button on the widget size that you want to feature (option A, B, or C) on your site and then click the copy button which will appear beneath the code. From there, simply paste the code into your template, side bar, or blog post.
