Hi everyone: The achillies heel of not being able to "sticky" your favorite posts as if you the admin of a message board or mark them as a "favorite" has held true in ALL forms of blogging (Be it text, audio or video). Heck, I can still remember when I first posted my favorite personal rendition of "Twas The Night Before Christmas". I've been reposting it EVERY YEAR ever since (And plan on doing it again this year on my AS MY WORLD TURNS blog).
In fact, I may do something I hadn't even done with it before. That is to MAKE A VIDEO OF IT & post it on my YouTube channel. That said (And basically put), about THE ONLY way to prevent your favorite posts from being forgotten is to REPOST them using the CURRENT date. That's THE ONLY way you can solve that problem. As for the lack of themes, well all I can say is that the creator of the theme needs to be compensated SOMEHOW (Especially during these economic hard times). It's just a fact of life. Hope this helps.... Just my opinion....

I have been doing a lot of thinking as I come close to my 3 year mark of vlogging. From the outset of vlogging almost everyone settled on the blog format for their site. And I think at that time it worked. However, now.....I am not so sure. I mean every time you make a video and post, that video moves down the list and soon it's off your homepage in some cases, never to be seen again. Now for some, maybe that is no big deal, but.....I think some of us all make a few videos that we are especially proud of, and in the current blog/vlog format, there is no easy way (I know we can sticky but if you sticky more than a couple no one will ever see your new content on your site) to show off those posts. It seems to me that there is a huge lack in the number of themes that take advatage of vlogging. I mean with the explosion of online video, you would think we would have more, but I only know of a small handfull and most of those you have to pay for. I am just curious as to what you all think? I just don't know....I mean part of me likes the blog/vlog format as it is, but I find myself longing for a different way to show off my video's moreso the ones that I want to showcase or ones that I am fond of...I mean I could revlog but.... So what do you all like and dislike about the current vlog format? What would you like to see? Just curious... Heath http://heathparks.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
