Greetings Vloggers,
though i've been posting videos to my site for years, i'm still kinda
getting my head around this RSS thing.
I've been on the list a while, and thanks to tips listed here, i've
indeed burned a feed to a new blogger page i started recently...
but, i'd like to only have to maintain ONE space where people can
subscribe to my videos, if possible.
and i think I'd prefer that it be my own site's video page...
or perhaps maintaining the 2 could be somewhat automated...?
ie) if my site's video page could be 'fed' the videos (somehow thru
RSS?) as they're added to my blogger page?
hmmm.... hoping someone could please let me know if this is feasible
or even possible to do.
and, here's part 2:
on my site's video page i have links to html pages where i
"enclose" (correct terminology?) the quicktime video....
http://eklektro.net/ek_breakbeatweek.html
But i'm not sure if the video links on these pages qualify as true
"enclosures"... because they are all merely links
to secondary html pages... each where a given video link (enclosure)
actually resides.
So i'm guessing that i couldn't burn a feed to a page where there are
only LINKS to enclosures,
as opposed to the enclosures themselves.. right?
So this is where i think i need to learn some real web design
protocol (i'm self-taught and dangerous in Dreamweaver)...
'cause the way i've been embedding a single movie in an html page,
it starts to load and play as soon as the page opens...
whereas on blogger, the viewer has to click a link to open the
movie... know what i mean?
On blogger.com, the link is to the movie's URL itself, as opposed to
a link to a page that contains the link to the movie's URL...
So perhaps the solution is as simple as making the click on the link
mandatory before a video would load
(otherwise i'd have dozens of videos trying to load simultaneously!)...
So i guess that this is the bit of code that i'm missing on my own
site, and if anybody could show me hot to modify this via Dreamweaver
or other, that'd be great....
one thought though, regarding play-ability, i HAVE seen better
browser success rates, loading videos that were embedded into html
pages. but i guess i'd sacrifice this in order to simplify
everything else.
But are there any other drawbacks to using one's own site for
vodcasting, as opposed to a blogger page?
anything i'm missing?
and/or, best of both worlds, regarding my first question: if there's
a way to have my site's video page "subscribe" to my blogger page's
videos.... and update accordingly... now that'd be great!
Anybody who's read this far: Thanks for following along...!
(and i think its time I get clear on terminology: enclosing vs.
embedding! Is there a difference?)
ANY and ALL advice appreciated... thanks much :)
Vlog on,
