What are Enclosure Links in Blogger and How to add them?

How to enable Enclosure links in Blogger?

In order to enclose podcast media into your blog post, you first have to turn on enclosure links. To do this, go to your Blogger dashboard, and then click on Settings >> Other from the sidebar on the left.

Blogger Settings

Next, look for the option that says Enable Title Links and Enclosure Links. Set this option toYes.

Enable Enclosure Links

Now, when you open the post editor in Blogger, you will be able to see enclosure links in theLinks section where the Permalink section used to be.

The Title link is something else, and you do not need to mess around with it. We're just interested in the Enclosure Links section, Notice that you can add multiple enclosure links, along with their MIME types. But for compatibility with most client-applications, it is best to add just one per post.

You can leave MIME types blank, since MIME types for most common file extensions are auto-detected by Blogger.

Also, if you add a video to your post using the built-in video uploader, enclosure links will be automatically generated. So you really only need to add enclosure links manually for audio files.

That's all there was to enclosure links. Did we miss something? Les us know in the comments section below. We'll be adding more tutorials on enclosure links pretty soon, so stay tooned! :)
