Vlog Update

by Lia Halsall

Me

I was playing around with my iMac Webcam last weekend and took this photo of myself using the colour pencil photo effect, cool huh!

Okay so I’ve decided I’m going to give vlogging a go and will probably create my first one this weekend. Like Rae, I don’t know how I feel about hearing myself being played back but then again if I don’t watch it myself then it won’t be so bad right. LOL!! Only time will tell I guess. So here’s what I’m thinking of doing. Taping a vlog here at home using my iMac Webcam, uploading it onto my youtube account so that I’m not taking up space which in turns costs me more money because of my self-hosted blog and then posting it into a blog post. Is that how most do it? Or is there an easier way? Either way I’d love to hear your feedback because I’m about to enter into uncharted territories as you all know and have NO IDEA what the hell I’m doing. Hang on a minute, I just remembered buying a Videoblogging for Dummies book earlier this year when I was first considering it. I’ll be right back…………… Silly me, it was in my book collection. I swear I have the worst memory in the world. So I obviously need to read this book to help me out this weekend, but in the meantime I still want to hear what you have to say. Knowledge is power remember. ;)

Well I’m back on that damn emotional roller coaster ride of life again, and here I was thinking that I was finally off that sucker for good! Who was I kidding. LOL!! Oh well, what can you do. I’m kind of numb emotionally at the moment. Last weeks court case then visit to the cemetery bought about some good news and some not so good news. I think I said quite enough in last weeks post and I really don’t want a repeat performance of that. Lets just say that there’s been an ending in one respect and a beginning in another. Life continues to challenge me and I have to trust that there’s good reason for that, what for the life of me I can not figure out but I have to continue to fight the good fight if nothing else than for survival.

But I am happy to report that I only have one week left at work before six glorious weeks of holidays. Now that makes me a very happy girl.

Au revoir pour maintenant.

It’s pretty cool huh, you should see the other ones I’ve created then Vic. Maybe I’ll get around to posting them up at a later date, we’ll see. ;)

I’m still getting to know iMove so it might be a little while yet before I post my first vlog. I’ll have more time to play when I’m on holidays plus I’ve booked in for another one to one class at Mac. All in good time my friend. xxx
