ccPublisher & Internet Archive Test

Here is my second attempt to upload my podcast to the Internet Archive. Creative Commons has a piece of free software called ccPublisher which performs two functions: adding Creative Commons licensing information to the file and uploading the file to the Internet Archive.

The experience didn't begin well. It took several tries to just download ccPublisher to my iBook running OS X.3.9. Problems continued when I opened the software and began the process with the file. Each time I check a radio button or clicked "next" there was a lag of several minutes before the software responded. When the upload finally did begin, I got error messages about an inability to "parse xml". I repeated the process and got an error about missing "metadata". I didn't have the patience to try this a third time! To give credit to ccPublisher, perhaps the issue is the fact that I'm using a Mac with 10.3 rather than 10.4. I don't have a Windows machine to test this with, but will try to do so soon.
