Sure-- it's http://mortaine.blogspot.com Here's my post template (I hope this comes through as text and not HTML): < a href="http://www.mortaine.com/HoldMyBeer/DayN.mp4"; rel="enclosure">< br />Click here for the movie!

It's actually easier than that, though you could also put a link at the top of your entries (like I do in my post template) if you wanted to do so. In the other thread, I posted instructions for limiting Blogger to showing just 1 day at a time. In the same settings (Formatting under "Settings" tab), scroll down to "Show Link Field" and select Yes. Then, in FeedBurner, turn on "SmartCast." Make sure wherever you store your videos has the MIME type set up for the video files correctly (needed no matter how you enclose them if you use FeedBurner). When you post your vlog, there will be an optional "Link" field in the Blogger interface. Paste the URL of your video file there, in addition to pasting it into your embedded tag. > I was involved with an "A+B" LiveWebCast last weekend for the Parker > 425 offroad race: > You could select 4 vehicles to track, & see their icons move on the > map.

I mean, racing isn't really my thing, but still neat! > In this situation, with a lot of drivers, I think pop-up screens are > appropriate. Yeah, but my "post once a day" method might not work for you, either, since you want multiple drivers available. One option would be to go with your own blogging server of some kind, and then really just limit it to one post per page, but then you're into blog servers and stuff. > If you have any ideas along your line of "anti pop-up screen", I'm > open to suggestion.

One thing that you can do in your embedded videos is set the autoplay to "no" so at least they won't all start playing when the page loads. It still slows down the user's computer, but it won't also blare them with sound and video unexpectedly. > The above is a LiveWebCast using "Mobile Blogging" (aka moblogging) > servers. I moblog at http://mortaine.typepad.com (all my blogs are in a page listed in my email signature). My moblog is video from my cell phone. Unfortunately, the cell phone had to go back to Nokia for replacement, because a key feature (MMS) didn't work on it. > The > niche-sports market I'm working in (Offroad Racing) has NO live-TV > coverage, only 1 month tape-delayed episodes on an obscure/niche > cable channel. I think video-blogging (syndicated as a video-podcast > over iTunes) could be the answer to Offroad Racing's longtime dilemma. My husband doesn't do racing, but he's an offroader, and has mentioned this lack of coverage in the past. Sadly, that's common with the less "pro" sports. > I talked to Technical Director of a major software firm (RealViz), & > he told me 80% of their time is spent on UI..User Interface.

UI design is a huge industry. --Stephanie -- Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blogs, vlogs, and audioblogs at: http://www.mortaine.com/blogs Yahoo!
