Vlogging With Training Wheels

As of today, the process is now simple (at least in my can't-even-see-the-cutting-edge practice). Here it is:

1) Establish a blog site: choose from MovableType, Blogware, Typepad, WordPress, Blogger, pMachine, LiveJournal, and more.

2) Grab a simple video-capturing device. I used to use a thoroughly adequateCanonS230PowerShot Digital Elph(completelyNOTthe state of the art). If you are buying new, consider theCanonSD600- my new toolfor a simple audio/photo/video device.

3)Hipcast. This low-cost, online service totally removed all major obstacles from my previously-horrific vlogging process.

OK,so now vloggingCANbe mechanically easy. But you will notice that I did not:

1) account for any editing you may want to do prior to uploading (time, skills, tools).

2) give you any extra time to do this work.

3) provide the muse, the topic of your vlogging inspiration.

4) bless you with any sort of artistic skills.

So, if you can stand it, be like me and dive right in. Who needs polish, time, a real purpose, or talent? More on that later.
