<![CDATA[I have been trying out videoblogging for a couple of months now. There are many new and quit good videoblogging services but I like youtube.com best. That is because it is a system that has the same features as flickr.com - the tagging, the ability to discuss videos etc.

As with all new mediums it takes time to master new tool and lots of trials and errors. It has not worked for me to have with me a video camera, they are too big and use too different system than my digital camera. What works is just videoblogging with my small compact Canon Ixus digital camera - the quality is ok for web but you have to buy extra batteries and extra memory - I have now two extra batteries and a 1 gigabyte memorycard. The main trouble is my camera shuts offs automatically after one minute or two minutes - I have not been able to adjust it so it is not timed.

It is easy to upload the videoclips to my labtop , this is by the same method as digital photos, using zoombrowser. Then I use Windowsoft Moviemaker for basic editing ( a free program) and connecting the videoclips and upload the movie to youtube.com
Then I can paste a code from youtube into my blog and the video is in place. Just like flickr. But the main problem is that all worldpress multiblogging systems I have tried dont allow users to paste in code. That is one limitation of those systems such as elgg blogs, wordpress.com blogs and edublogs.com

Content

And I am now starting to experiment with content - trying to make the content interesting - trying to tell a story. One way of doing that is to the people in the videoclips tell a story or react in a way....and I am experimenting with taking short videointerviews.

Here is a link to my videoblog
