I use and recomend Wordpress. There is free Wordpress hosting at Wordpress.com (similar to setting up a blogger account) and Dreamhost (a paid hosting service) has an easy one click install of wordpress that you can use.

Oh - now I get it! Duh! I can host my videos elsewhere to conserve bandwidth. BUT I can embed the videos on my personally own/hosted vlog. Correct? Ok, now that I finally get it, which hosting do you guys think is the best option? I don't mind paying a fee IF it means getting better/faster/more reliable hosting of my videos, otherwise I would want to go the free route. Yahoo!

Here here to the dump Pinnacle chant. I have had so many problems with it. For something inexpensive and easy to use, I suggest Roxio, as I always do. For unusual reasons which I can explain if you're really interested, I suggest Roxio 7 over Roxio 8... but 8 has its benefits as well. My own 2c... and yes, lean heavily on freevlog.org for RSS info.

Use Windows Movie Maker if you dont want to spend any money. Just dont use Pinnacle. Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is probably the best low budget editor out there. I just recently bought Premiere Pro 2.0 and I still thing P.E. 2 is an excellent choice. The fact that the guy was clueless at vlogit should be enough not to purchase it. My 2 cents.

It's a very cool site, and let me to this vlog group. I'm trying to determine which tools I want to use to edit and broadcast my vlogs, but am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Any advice/input that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Currently I have two vlog projects: 1. client wants to broadcast weekly art lessons on his website 2. I want to create monthly or biweekly marcom vlogs. Basically I will discuss the kinds of things discussed in DivaDigest (www.readdivadigest.com), however each vlgo will only focus on one article. For example, my first vlog will be a little skit-like production that illustrates the meaning of branding. It will be published to a portion of the Diva site. I've been looking at the following software: 1. To actually publish the vlog online via streaming video, Ive been thinking about using this FlashPlayer by Jeroen W. http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player Or, I've also looked at this softwared to publish streaming video vlog online: http://www.msiwebvideo.com/ 2. To edit the videos I have been looing at Pinnacle studio 10, studio 10 plus, or studio media suite. http://www.pinnaclesys.com. I already own adobe photoshop and fireworks, so Im not sure if the added features in media suite are really any use to me. OR I've been looking at www.vlogiit.com. This software is being touted all over the net. It looks pretty cool and seems like it can make it quick and easy to both edit and publish my video. However, Ive heard from one source that their support is not too hot. Today I called support to ask a few questions and the guy was totally clueless - I knew more about the product than he did! So, that kind of scared me. Still, it's inexpensive, and looks quick and easy to use. And, finally, I want to be able to put these into an RSS feed, and I'm TOTALLY clueless!!! Where can I find a tutorial that spells this out for a newbie to RSS vlogging? I want my vlog to contain video that is easy for others to view, that has an RSS feed so that viewers can easily access new content, and that has video that is fun and has some pizazz - don't just want to be a talking head. I own a marcom company, so we like to do the 'bells and whistles' on stuff. I noticed that most vloggers broadcast with quicktime. Why is that? I thought that flash was better for streaming video?

Honestly, the free route is pretty reliable right now. And since we're now talking about both hosting and blogging if you will, I'd suggest: http://www.blip.tv They will host your videos for free--and (though I know this isn't the case) if you weren't concerned about the appearance of the vlog, blip actually has its own blog-post software built right into it. http://www.ourmedia.org This second site is a front-end (Michael can describe this better) for the Internet Archive. It doesn't have the same blog-style as blip does, and I have found it to not be as reliable... I started with ourmedia, and switched to blip a month or so later.

Thanks Michael. I've built the wordpress template for my blog at www.vlogdiva.com. It's still totally bare bones. Later today I'm going to try using this software http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player It has a wordpress plugin so I think that it can work with the wordpress RSS feeds. Once I get that figured out I'm going to also look at creating quicktime versions of my blogs. The one thing I'm still stumped on is which editing software to use. There have been a few suggestions, but I don't understand why folks are so down on Pinnacle. Can you tell me why it is such a bad solution? Also, is Adobe Premiere easy yet powerful? I want to be able to edit the movies with sound, jpgs, cutting, etc., but I prefer to use a software for dummies. Then once I get really into it I'll upgrade to a more advanced software.

Go check out the Pinnacle forums for all the problems people have had and are having. I'm telling you it's bad based on my own personal experience with the software. There are numerous easy to use NLE's out there that will do that job. In the end, it will be up to you what you are comfortable using. I've found that Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is very powerful yet simple enough for the beginner. Remember though, there is a difference between Adobe Premiere and Adobe Premiere Elements. If you dont want to purchase anything at this time, you can just use Windows Movie Maker until you are more comfortable with editing. If you are going to be creating Quicktime movies, I would suggest spending the $30 and purchasing Quicktime Pro for encoding your final videos.
