class="message_body"> This may be one for Matt.<br /> <br /> How are we fixed with hosting space and download limits?<br /> Looking at setting up something to upload Teh Podcast to.<br /> <br /> I appreciate it is rough around the edges but I think as we<br /> continue with it it will really improve.<br /> <br /> We have a unique feature in the diversity of regular hosts we<br /> can bring on for each cast and i think once we get the format sorted it<br /> could be something that other non forumites might get into.<br /> <br /> If this were the case then it would be useful to have space to upload and<br /> start and RSS feed to.<br /> <br /> I was going to register tehpodcast.co.uk/com and start a small site similar to the one I have created for my brothers podcast <a href="http://dundeenfl.com">www.dundeenfl.com</a> keeping the layout and colours as a match for Teh Forum.<br /> <br /> If we have the space and bandwidth to do this here and just add it as an extra link next to the Chat menu option so much the better.<br /> <br /> Cheers</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a
