Podcast - Shirley Temple Biography

I have been working on this podcast since Sunday and have put Way, Way, Way beyond 14 hours on it. My computer had issues with all the new programs I've added for this class and the sound kept going in and out on me. After I spend over an hour with HP getting the sound reloaded, then I could begin my podcast again. I spend many hours learning how to use Audacity, how to record the music, how to fade it in and out, how to record the lesson and then fade the music back in. When I tried to download the podcast tonight, it didn't work. I waited for over an hour for it to download, tried several things suggested, but nothing worked. I had completed all the lesson plans, script, and a hand-out to use with the third grade class before I even began the podcast, so I would have it all ready to do the word for word script. Now, at 10:21,I'm brain dead and my documents aren't downloading. I'm not sure if its another issue with my computer or what So I'm quitting for the night, as its 10:22 and I'm still recovering from the bad flu bug that's hit my school so hard, so I'll work 9n it tomorrow.
