Dancing Baby II - The Wrath of Dancing Baby



Third attempt. First time I tried the "Blog This" button in Picasa and it seemed to be uploading, but lo and behold it only uploaded one frame of the video. Second time I tried the "Add Video" button in Blogger and the upload took so long that eventually the laptop overheated and shut down (it does that).

A little research revealed that Blogger uploads are limited to a hundred megs and my video was 101! Bummer. So I trimmed it in Windows Movie Maker and tried again. Movie Maker converted the file from an .AVI to a .WMV, and I'm not sure if that's supported by Blogger.

Time to find out.

Publish!

Dancing Baby

 


Testing, testing. I'm trying to figure out a good way of sharing baby videos with the family without having them public on YouTube. After posting a video of Elizabeth Rose after a bath, and getting a couple of semi-creepy comments (and 57 views in only a week!), I made all baby videos private. Screw the creeps.

It makes me wonder: how on Earth do the weirdos who enjoy looking at a stranger's naked baby and commenting about it find the videos? I had been thinking that the millions upon millions of videos on YouTube lent a de facto privacy.

Anyway, if this upload works, and the video looks good on the blog, I'll make a separate Elizabeth Rose blog to share these videos.
