Re: [videoblogging] Why LIFO? Any way to change to FIFO in Blogger?

You've found the main failing of blog software.  Hidden archives.

Broadcast Machine might be what you are looking for.

http://participatoryculture.org/broadcast/

It lists your videos in order.

Here's a sample I started playing with...

[videoblogging] Why LIFO? Any way to change to FIFO in Blogger?

2005-12-30 Thread Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones



Hi,I'm posting again, it seems, on consequitve days with queries. But the folks on this list have been so helpful with my beginner's questions on compression and file linking, I thought I would ask something that is not quite so technical, but really basic to me. I am starting a video blog to get the eperience and because I want to participate in this medium. My background, among other things is a documentary film maker. What I like about vlogging is that it can allow me -- I think and hope -- to present a subject in a recursive and nonlinear way, unlike a traditional documentary film. I can share my exploration and learning-process with the viewer. I can look at a subject and then come back later with a clearer understanding or a deeper question. It's sort of looping around in an irregular patternI have been using Blogger.

2005-12-30 Thread Markus Sandy






one approach is to put some kind of menu, index or guide in the blogger
header
do this by modifying the template (make a copy first for safety!)

look for div id="header" ../div and put your own menu
or whatever in there
you'll need to work with HTML and CSS here

look at http://digitaldojo.blogspot.com as an example
i wanted to make sure that certain posts could be easily located and i
did not just want them in the sidebar
basically, i just added a div of links inside of the header

i've also see people put "posts" there that stay at the top (not really
a post, but it can look like one if you want)
