Admit It, Vlogging Is Cool….

In case you didn’t get the memo, there is a new way to blog… It’s called “Vlogging,” and it translates to “video blogging.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Adding video and audio to your site / blog is a GOOD thing to do. It adds interest and keeps people coming back to your site.

Vlogging allows your readers to see another side of you. And that can be a very cool thing.

Like all things blogging, it is important to remember that your vlog content needs to be kept in line with your blog’s topic. If you have a food blog, you can make cool videos of yourself preparing a recipe. If you have a crafty blog, you can record yourself making a project.

As many of you know, I lived in Alaska for quite a few years. I made a few short videos last year, to kind of show off my town to friends and family who couldn’t make it out to Alaska. (if you want to view them, they’re located here).

I’ve since moved back to Michigan, so having those little videos is neat.  I’ll always be able to show people what driving around my little Alaska town was like.

You can start vlogging pretty easily. I made the above videos with a Flip Video Camcorder. They’re very easy to use and make easy work of getting your videos online.

Just try it! (and if you do, leave a comment with the link to your vlog. I want to see what you come up with!)
