Video Blogging - How To Do It - For Beginners
I'm Linda, a seasoned blogger. I'm learning to set up video blogging for some of my blogging projects. As I learn to do it I'll add information to this lens. Eventually this may become an expert video blogger lens, but for right now it is a place for me to gather together research materials for video blogger wannabes like me!

I've Got to Learn to be a Video Blogger!
I have some rudimentary equipment now and am ready to proceed with learning all about video blogging.
Please, if you're a newbie to video blogging, come along for the ride as I consult some experts to find out more about how this is done.
Types of Cameras for Video Blogs

YouTube for Business: Online Video Marketing for Any Business
Amazon Price: $16.47 (as of 12/02/2009)
This outstanding book teaches small business owners how to develop an internet video marketing plan including information on types of videos, budget video production, video editing, video blogging, and developing an effective, money-making YouTube video presence.
Honesty About My Video Experience
I've found that I need to use a program called Rad Video Tools to change the file format of my camera's videos to .avi and then I can load them into Windows Movie Maker software (which came with my PC) for editing.
I have to admit I do have some experience with creating movies and posting them to the web. A few years ago I worked for the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization for the summer of 2005 and during that time filmed many movies which they added to their pay-per-view website. As I was also their web designer I also added one movie to their site. However, I've never posted a movie to a blog. Yet. I'm making this lens to focus on my video blogging education and to make all this information available to others who want to learn to do it.
