  1. I like to make videos!flip video camera
  2. I’m slightly crazy.
  3. Nobody else has volunteered.
  4. My husband won’t let me video him.
  5. It’s so much easier to portray sarcasm.
  6. Editing video is fun!!!
  7. You can see me waving my hands when I talk.
  8. I can point to things.
  9. Something subconsciously pushes me to do it.
  10. I’m slightly crazy.

Do you, my loyal readers, like videos?  Do any of you read blogs in an environment where having sound on is a problem?  [I promise not to email your boss.]  Do you like a mix of videos and text on a blog?  

If you are a blogger that wants to start adding videos you should follow NewBaby.com.  They are constantly having contests with small video cameras as prizes.  They were nice enough to start a group with my simple video tips.  I’ll post more about the tips when I get the series finished.

If you have any video blogs or vlogs or whatever you want to call them leave a link for me please.  I’d love to check them out.

Another reason I make videos is because of Amanda’s Questions of the Week.  I’m linking this post to her Top Ten Tuesday carnival.

  1. Neat List Post.

    I just recently started using my camera as a torture device ;) #2 and #10 are my reasons I video too, but so far I’ve been able to find victims ( I mean volunteers).

    Will check out your tips too, thanks.

    I enjoy watching your videos. My children come running every time they hear sound from the computer. lol I do agree with #2 and #10 though. ;) I stay as far away from video cameras and regular cameras as I can unless I’m the one taking the pictures or videos. :)

    My children come running too! I was nice and cut out the part of you bowling in that video. :)

    I like your videos. I’ve gotta do my intro video today. I like the idea of videoing others, just not me. I like blogs with a good mix of writing, pics and video. The grandparents need to see the kids in action too!

    I just watched your video blogging tips at NewBaby.com and that’s what brought me here. I enjoy watching your videos. What do you use to edit them? My daughter and I have recently started a video blog at http://gracieopoly.com. I would love to hear what you think!

    Glad you came over. I use Windows Movie Maker. I’ll be over soon.

  6. It’s a great feat if you video blog. The perspective of doing it is the same as personalizing the whole concept and you will surely catch the attention of your readers like me. Continue it and voila, you will earn thousands of viewers.
