Re: [videoblogging] Re: pointing feed to a blogger page vs. web-page?

[Markus Sandy]

as with most things, if you use your own site, you generally get more control but also more responsibility you can put your chicklet anywhere you think it will do you some good (including the bottom of your email) blogspot is free and so it's popular many folks here also use other services like typepad and others many host their own blogs with tools like wordpress and others sometimes people use blogs just to get the feeds.  that is, they post to a blog only to use the feed somewhere else. in this case they may not even care what the blog looks like. for example, someone might already have an existing web page where they have been posting a weekly video (i.e., plain old video on the web) and now they want to add a feed to that page.  One way to do it would be to start posting each video's (hopefully unique) url in a blog in order to get a feed (for feedburner or whatever) and display that on the original video page in order to create a 'videocast' so it's doable, but personally i don't care for sites like that.  i prefer vlogs, because generally there is more than just video and a feed (i.e., conversation). your choice of course.  in fact you can even skip the whole "blog" thing if you like and just update (by hand) a simple rss file that is hosted on your own site, just as you would any html page (i.e., edit it). btw, i don't generally find much difference between the time it takes to upload a video and update a page on my own site versus creating a new vlog post using tools like blip.tv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, i guess the keep-it-simple rule applies here on the forum, since i didn't get any replies from my kinda lengthy post yesterday....   (I think i figured out the diff between embedding and enclosures on my own...) but 2 simple questions remain: are there any drawbacks to using one's own site for vodcasting, as opposed to vlogging via a blogspot page? ie) IF its possible to put up the XML subscription chicklet on one's own webpage, then i'm wondering what functional differences there might be?  forgive my ignorance, but is there a sizable contingency of bloggers doing this, or is it an against-the-grain minority?  I suppose i'd just have to surf out there to see, but i haven't had a chance to peruse too many vlogs unfortunately...(my web connection has been mostly limited to either cellphone when i'm in my RV, or sketchy web cafes when i'm traveling outside the country.... brazil currently... and that's part of the reason i'd ideally construct my vlog offline, and then just upload when i got to a web connection... vs. step by step posting in some expensive web cafe).  thanks to anyone who could lend their experience and advise me.  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, as opposed to a blogger vlog... 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? ...have my site's video page "subscribe" to my blogger page's videos.... and update accordingly...  now that'd be great! .... hoping someone could please let me know if this is feasible or even possible to do. ....and IF this is a relatively common technique, then i'd surely appreciate any URLs which demonstrate good examples of this... thanks!
