Vlog
O.k., so I’m really thinking about testing the waters and adding a vlog to my blog. Not daily, maybe just once a week, if that. Essentially it would be an extension of the topics I normally discuss here. Unfortunately, my knowledge of creating a vlog is left to chapter 7 of Blogging For Dummies. I shit you not, I have that book. I also have WordPress For Dummies too. Have any of you done a vlog? Do you have any tips at all? Should I avoid it like the plague?
Since I’m thinking about it, I’ve semi-jokingly asked my friends to be a part of the vlogs. You can remember their fine performance in: Travel Soccer= Booze Fest. They make me laugh till I cry and I think they may have the same impact on you guys. Oh and by the way, I came out of the closet. No, I’m not a lesbian. I finally told them about my blog and like the hot messes they are, they accepted me with open arms. I’m home…..I’m really, really home.
If I did a vlog, what topics would we cover? Wine/adult beverage would definitely be involved, in fact that would make it that more amazing. I’m leaning towards discussing oddities of the world such as this. Or just complaining about stuff we all have to endure like zits on wrinkles (Oh that’s just me? Fantastic), thinking about loosing weight or parenting. Oh, and I just had this other idea, I could interview my favorite bloggers via Skype, if they would have me! Would you be down with that? An adult beverage may be mandatory though.
Bloggy Conference
Also, I posted this last year and I think I was too new to attend. This September, I am hell-bent on going to the Bloggy Conference in Sandusky, Ohio. Now wait, before you guys shit on Sandusky, it’s famous for the movie Tommy Boy (ok maybe famous is a stretch) but it has one of the largest amusement parks in America. In fact, the conference is at the amusement park’s historic hotel that overlooks the lake-Hotel Breakers. I swear it’s just like the ocean just minus the waves. I’m going! Who’s with me? I think this would be an amazing girls trip! It’s about a 3 hr drive for me and there are a ton of wineries, a beautiful beach and an island to explore. Here is the link: Bloggy Conference. Think about it……..
Blog Theme
And lastly, thinking about changing my theme. I feel like my blog doesn’t have enough nooks and crannies. Now I don’t mean tacky. Let’s be real, my blog isn’t going to look like a Macy’s landing page, I just want more pages. I am exploring options so if you have theme recommendations, I am all ears.
Well, I think that is all. Have a great evening all!
The bloody conference sounds like it will be a blast (bit of a commute for me as I’m playing in Bulgaria now but still). And I couldn’t even begin to offer any advice about VLogging, I’d have to borrow your Dummies book just to understand how it works…
But best of luck, sounds exciting either way…
Well, thank you Gabe! I understand! I don’t know 1 vlogger. I youtubed it tonight. They just suggested I buy a camera I can’t afford. I have what I want to do in my head but I’m afraid I don’t know how to execute.
Sounds good! Unfortunately I’m no help to you as I know Sweet FA about it 🙂 As for your theme … I like it minimal and easy … like my men lol … no just kidding … But I like it 🙂
Good luck !
Ha!!! You’re funny!!! I like minimal too (like my men) that is why I chose the button theme. I guess I just feel like I need a little sprucing up!
LOL … I did the same recently … but couldn’t find another theme that I liked. Turned out when I checked the widgety things, WP had zhooshed those up abit so it had most of what i needed without being too cluttered – Good luck with your expedition 😉
Thank you!
I’d watch your vlog. I’ve never done one nor have the desire to, but I watch them pretty regularly on youtube. And what is this Bloggy Conference? What is it for?
Thank you! I think it would be fun to do but a bitch to edit. You know? Especially since I know nothing about it. The bloggy conference is where you listen to a few blog speakers who have made it (??) then it sounds like there might be some networking involved? It actually sounds fun! Let me know if you are interested. I’m just trying to figure out how I am going to tell my children I am going to an amusement park without them. Ha! Let me know.
The conference sounds like fun, but I think it’s a bit of a hike for me. Plus, I’m not really into the idea of ‘making it.’ Sounds exhausting to me. 🙂
Ha!!! I completely understand! But the roller coasters would be fun!
Vlog sounds like the name of someone’s cousin in Croatia. That thought just randomly popped in my head and I thought I’d share. LOL! I say yes to the vlog because I think you should try shit out and see what happens. I’d watch it. I think you’re hilarious. And that would be a yes to the conference because you should try shit out and see what happens. And you guessed it, yes to the theme change because you should try shit out and see what happens, but I have no idea what theme because I suck at that stuff.
That is so funny! I thought my comment went through today in the Wendy’s drive thru at lunch. Apparently it did not. So sorry! Ha! I think a yes to everything! Let’s celebrate!
The problem with vlogs is that you can’t read them surreptitiously during conference calls….
But doing like 1/month would be a great addition!
Yeah, I think once a month would be great! Thank you Katie!
