Cool! I tested support with an audio enclosure both as a POST and as an edited PUT, and the enclosure worked both times.

Here's why I brought it up: Blogger has added enclosure support to its GData feeds! Now you can podcast more easily with Blogger.

We're working on the web UI for this, but since the backend support's already live, we thought we should let you know so you can play with it and add it to your clients.

To add a link to an enclosure to a post, just POST or PUT it with a <link> with rel="enclosure". It's probably a good idea to include the MIME type, and optionally a length in octets.

We support multiple enclosures, since we're based on Atom, but bear in mind that RSS spec only allows one (and note that the Atom link that you upload will appear as it should in the RSS format of the feed).

Let me know if you have any trouble or if it's not working as you'd expect.
