OK, it is now visible on mintcast.org. There was one more field I
hadn't noticed -- by default, it doesn't publish until midnight in the
time zone it was posted from. I moved it back to 8:00pm local time,
and it's there now.

In case it wasn't clear from my earlier message, I am going to
re-record the segment where I talk about installing software.
Hopefully I can get it a little smoother than this one. The content
will basically be the same, though.

So again, I just need to sort out the various pieces of music, and I'm
ready to go.
