Holly cow... where did that come from. That rocks, a real blog, even has comments! That said, for some reason the video still won't play. There's something wrong with the flash player. It just never loads the video. :( > Second, and more importantly, there is the hard-to-find link that may even > be new, on the amanda page and, in fact, may even be in response to comments > like Mikes, but there is now a page that, I think, has characteristics much > more common to what is more commonly though of as a vlog, that you can go to > instead of the main amanda abc news page and it's here > > http://blogs.abcnews.com/amanda/ YEAH! BTW, Amanda, if you're listening. Please provide the alternate downloadable video as well. http://a.media.abcnews.com/podcasts/070110congdon_blog.m4v?CMP=OTC-3V9R06864381 If you look into the RSS feed, which is at the following url... http://abcnews.go.com/xmldata/xmlPodcast?id=2727783 But ironically blocked from linking directly to (you are instead redirected to the amanda homepage) making the feed 100% useless.... In order to get to it you have to go to the amanda homepage and click on the "podcast" image... you can then view the source... and find the "enclusure" and copy that url... and put it in the blog post. It may sound a little confusing, but it's very simple once you get the hang of it. I'm sure you can get some help from people like the awesome richard and his wife if you need it or feel free to email me. Peace, -Mike > ...
