Who can use this?

The Blubrry Media Uploader is available to Blubrry hosting customers. It's built to work with Blubrry's content delivery network and podcast hosting service — it's not designed to upload media to your personal website or another hosting service.

How to Use the Blubrry Media Uploader within PowerPress

Note: before you can use the Media Uploader, you must link your WordPress site to your Blubrry media hosting subscription.

1. Find the Podcast Episode box below the WordPress post editor; click the Choose File button.
2. Click the Upload Media File link.
3. Drag the media file you want to upload into the Uploader window, or click the Select File link and choose the file from your local drive. You'll see the status of your media file upload. When the upload is complete, the upload status window will close automatically.
4. Click the Verify button. You should see the Media URL box turn green with a checkmark — this means PowerPress has confirmed your file has been uploaded and knows the URL of the file. You should also see the File Size and Duration values automatically filled out by PowerPress. If these weren't automatically filled out, you can manually enter them.

Congratulations! You've successfully uploaded your media file to Blubrry and are prepared to publish your episode. You can now proceed with either immediately publishing your WordPress post or scheduling the post to publish at a date/time in the future.
