I need some feedback on the "click-to-play embedded video", the fact that there are several in a row.  (I actually had a few of them running simultaneously on Safari & Firefox.  Internet Explorer runs kinda rough on my PC laptop, I'd like some feedback on how IE handles it).  Also, compare it to the pop-up windows for the later entries.  Which is more effective? This might be of interest to Stephanie Bryant.  If it works, she might opt to get away from her "single vlog entry" per page.  Also, Rocketboom might want to think about changing their single-entry per page (they use arrows to cycle thru their daily archives).
