about this test

The goal is to create a podcast entry that includes one short media file in the feed and a link to a longer media file that isn't included in the feed. When Movable Type looks at links and embed tags in blog entries and generates XML with tags to form a podcast feed, it appears to place the longest media file first in the list of enclosures, making it the one that podcast aggregators associate with that podcast episode. MT doesn't appear generate XML differently if the shorter media is listed first, if or is used, or if the longer media is placed in the Extended Entry. The only bombproof thing I've yet found is for the second, "special features" link to go to a piece of HTML that then goes to the media, as shown in this blog entry.
