What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
This blog post is coming to you live from my Adding Video to Your Blog session at Blog Indiana 2009. For the past 30 minutes or so I have been demonstrating to the audience how to record their own videos using a webcam, Flip Video camcorder or iPhone 3G-S. As part of my demonstration, I recorded an actual live video during my session so I could demonstrate how to upload the video to YouTube and how to embed the video in a blog post. And now for your enjoyment, here is that video: If you can not see the embedded… Continue reading...
