You will need the following equipment:
1. a microphone
I use a rather cheap Aiwa CM-P22 One/Two-Point Stereo Microphone that
has excellent results. Itīs a versatile microphone I use for live
recordings of music on concerts (using a mini-disc recorder) as well
as my voice recordings (direct to soundcard of pc).
The price in $ 29 e.g. at:
http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=161&osCsid=c45a29ad5f3f734c689d9ac981ccf72f
(Iīm not sure if this link will work as it contains a session id, if
not please go to
http://www.audiocubes.com and select microphones, this link will work.)
2. a cd burner and CD-RW media.
As the market is really full of offers I canīt recommend a specific
brand. My sony dvd/cd burner does a very good job for about two years
now. All modern burners can burn CD-RW media. You have to use RW media
to be able to delete files from the CD, but if you edit the
audio-files first (before burnung them to CD) you will not have to use
them.
LG electronics supplies cd burners of good quality at low prices.
3. software
I use CoolEdit Pro, but this version is not available any longer as
the original product firm syntrillium software has been bought by
Adobe. The price for Adobe Audition (which is the new name for cool
edit) went up to about $ 300 - not really a good bargain in my
opinion.
A rather cheap solution (you can test the program before buying it) is:
"Audio Recorder Pro 1.65

from and available ( $ 24,95) at:

)
This software might be allright for your puposes - you donīt need
things like multitrack-recording other software features.
You will need another software for burning your recorded files to
CD-RW. Nero Burning ROM is one of the best solutions I know and itīs
available at very low prices at ebay.com:
Offers are usually around $ 10, e.g. this one:

)
Last part of your question:
Presentation on your homepage:
Depending on the features of your webhosting you can:
- offer the files as mp3-files or windows media format (wma) for downloads
- offer streaming real audio files or streaming wma files (which I
look upon as a professional solution, but the hosting is more
expensive)
I hope this help to solve your problem. Please post a clarification
request if anything should still be unclear.
