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.

What’s My Line?

There are over 10,000 bloggers signed up for Problogger’s program called 31 Days to Build a Better Blog.  That’s not even half the blogosphere.  Amazing!  I chose to sign up so that the lessons would be sent right to my email because I don’t read Problogger every day [shh - don't tell].

The first lesson was to write an elevator pitch.  I have a tagline – “Musings and Mommy Stuff.”  I think I need a bit more of a pitch.  This is what I came up with:

Sharing my life and likes to brighten your day and make new friends.

Does that sound like a good description for my blog?  How would you describe it?

Cyndi suggested, “Wit and wisdom on the journey of womanhood.”  What do you think?
