Hi Markus, I use Joomla on www.kenyamoto.com, but since we customized the templates so much, we are expecting to have problems changing the templates/layout, which I would like to do soon. Otherwise, everything else works really well with Joomla. vincent On Nov 22, 2007 9:28 PM, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I do a lot of work on Joomla, but am not using it for a vlogging platform. http://k9disc.com / http://pawsitivevybe.com I have some embedded video and such, but it's more of a magazine kind of concept.

Welcome Anshelto. This means anyone can make a video, publish it online, and share their voice or story with billions of people! Okay, you know all of this stuff already, but I just wanted you to know that I get it too! Yup, it's pretty exciting when you stop and think about all the potential out there. http://www.expotv.com/VideoIntro.aspx That's pretty cool. Wont be long before all sorts of places are asking for video submission like that. Rupert posted a cool link to channel 4 (http://www.channel4.com/fourdocs/) that you may be interested in looking at. They are taking lil' documentaries from people - another very cool site. and hoping to join a start up or even start my own company in this space. The more I know, the better I will be at evaluating new ideas. I'd love to do that too. (who wouldn't) Again there is alot of potential out there.

Hey Deirdré, thanks for the input Let's make sure the newbies don't get confused: RSS does not solve the big problem of bandwidth. I'm familiar with RSS from my research into podcasting audio... my take is that bandwidth can be at least mitigated if everyone exercises common sense regarding compression - but common sense isn't that common... What it does is syndicate your content such that lots of feedreaders (web-based or standalone) can subscribe to it and show your loyal readers the latest from you as soon as you publish it. That is the part that interests me. So it's a great way to increase and maintain your audience. The more that happens, however, the more you'll have to deal with the question of how to afford the bandwidth. I have a decent bandwidth allowance on my server, so hopefully my obscure little experiments won't eat into it too much. im not sure if Flash files show up in RSS feeds...il let ithers chime in here. They do, you just have to code them right. Feel free to copy my feed at http://www.straughan.com/feeds/rss.xml for examples; several people on this list were instrumental in helping me get this to work. I was planning on using WMVs - the Flash is just how I display video at the moment - but it is useful to know that Flash can be used with RSS too. Thanks!

That is the part that interests me. I haven't come across the usage of 'pings' in any of the vlog directories or aggregators yet. Is that something that is planning on being added and just not done yet, or has there been a conscious decision not to go that route? For those not familar, a ping is basically a webserver that allows your blog software to notify remote systems that you have new content - helps speed up the distribution of the content and also allows them to poll you less frequenty if you're not a super regular poster. More information at http://newhome.weblogs.com/directory/11 Imagine FireANT instead of @ 3:30 downloading you stuff for you, but downloading it within minutes of it being published?
