My first attempt at video blogging!
Here's my first attempt at creating a video blog. Enjoy (or not).
Of course you don't have to post videos of yourself. You ca share anything from coaching tips, to clips from matches etc - anything that you've uploaded or found on sites like Youtube.
Tip: To add video from Youtube, simply copy the URL of the video from the browser (it should look something like http://www.youtube.com/v/ZK5cq5hraFk. If it looks like http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZK5cq5hraFk just edit it, deleting "watch?" and changing "=" to a "/"), then when you create your blog post click the media icon
. Choose 'flash' as the type, and simply paste in the URL that you copied. You can change the size too - if you do, tick the box to constrain the proportion and just change the height or the width.
As far as making the video goes, I simply used the in-built camera on my macbook, and iMovie. It was incredibly easy. I guess that Windows probably has some kind of movie maker built in, and a decent webcam should be enough to capture a simple video. You can, of course, use more sophisticated tools, but I wouldn't know about that! iMovie even let me upload directly to youtube (on creating an account). It can take a few hours before you can post the video on your blog - until it is ready it will just come up blank.
