I was afraid I wasn't "cool" enough because I hadn't done a video blog, but also wasn't sure if it should be serious or silly. I'm definitely on the serious side and if I do a video cast, I'd hope to teach bloggers something. :)Jessica Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/01392565903843981091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-89909252500217623582007-04-27T22:43:00.000-04:002007-04-27T22:43:00.000-04:00Okay...

I've already learned from you, Jess... so I'd honestly hate to see you do something dumb... like just giggle and act goofy. :(<BR/><BR/>Just sign me,<BR/>Stuffy Old writer-woman JessJessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-47739620494645554192007-04-27T21:05:00.000-04:002007-04-27T21:05:00.000-04:00I'm a big fan of writing podacasts I Should Be Wri...I'm a big fan of writing podacasts I Should Be Writing by Mur Lafferty and Whispers at the Edge by Phillipa Ballantine.<BR/><BR/>I say go for it.

Personally, I like that kind of stuff but I'd never do it. :) I think a lot comes into play: voice for one. A shrill unpleasant voice can drive me nuts! Someone who isn't organized can do the same. I'd love to see you give this a try...but do it right. :) Presentation is everything. A friend of mine teaches creative writing, and English classes. I told her about your blog and she in turn told her students. I'll bet you have a lot of lurkers and don't know it, so don't think no one's watching & reading.

I totally feel like I'm missing out on a lot. But at the same time, I do a lot of my surfing at work (a quick blog read in between tasks) and I don't want to deal with the audio. And then my home computer's speakers are broken so I can't view them there (plus, I have a mac at home and sometimes it just won't play the videos).<BR/><BR/>So that's my take on it all. I think they're a cool idea - but tough for some people to see.Carrie Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751498516235657725noreply@blogger.com
