Hi!

I know how much time, thinking, and effort has been used
creating this incredible plugin. Thank you for you great work!
That said, I'd like to say, constructively, naively…

I can't figure out how to get the sermons as posts, not a page.
If I want people to subscribe to my sermons by rss, there seems
to be no apparent way, as it is now, to add the actual text
of the sermon in html. (I see I could attach file, though.)
And WP search does not find the sermons.
Must there be GET variables used (sermons/?podcast)?
What is the sense of a page tag? Isn't that for posts?

There seems to be disparity between the purpose of Word Press
and the purpose of the plugin. That is, they have different
and apparently incompatible ways of thinking and working
together. The plugin could be done better if designed for
a blog. Ideally, I'd like to go to WP Posts->Add New and
find a Sermons Widget with all the functionality of the current
page, Sermons->Add Sermon.

In this way, a sermon could be published for online
reading/listening AND ALSO by RSS – with references to the files
that accompany it (PDF, MP3, etc) as well as the references to
podcasts – for iPod / iTunes. In turn, a person or website could
import the feed: Facebook, smart phone, or various feed readers. I know Google picks up PDF contents, but I would like to see my
content published to the maximum extent possible, and not just
simply available for perusal. The tag could be the existing Post
Tag, and the other powerful functions already in the WP blogging
could be used as well,like Categories, Recent Posts, Archives,
etc..

I write these things from a mile high overview, first-time
experience, WP 3.0, and without even having looked at source.
I think I might try to implement what I need on my own,
using your work to start, if I don't hear from you about
other solutions first… I'm stuck as a user of the plugin.

God bless you and yours, and THANK YOU for all your obviously
thoughtful and intelligent work done with this plugin!
