I'm a big fan of Freevlog. It's a great repository of useful stuff, and it has obviously helped a lot of people take their first steps into vlogging.
However, I have a suggestion for a small change/enhancement to the instructions for setting up a blogger account, and thought I'd run it by the group for comments. First, I'm not a Blogger user. I guess there are a lot of people around the world who might be interested in videoblogs who are also not Blogger users. Second, I have been seeing a lot of new vlogs recently where the creator has set up a Blogger blog where comments are restricted to only Blogger users. One effect of these two things is that I have been unable to add my comments to help encourage these new videobloggers. Another effect is that (presumably because of the wording fused by Blogger) these new users often seem to feel that they have somehow chosen a "safer" or "spam free" option. This is of course nonsense - there's plenty of spam from inside the Blogger community. For a sad example see <URL http://johnnybranch.blogspot.com/ > : a new videoblog with just one comment, which is thinly-veiled spam.) Please could the instructions on setting up a Blogger account at Freevlog be modified to include an explanation of what these choices mean, and that restricting comments to Blogger users is hardly ever a sensible choice.
