Every time I create a new post on my blog, Wordpress wants to put a date on

if you are able to edit your theme, you can simply remove the date from the

you can also use CSS to hide it. try something like:
span.submitted { display: none; }

I'm sorry you were insulted by what I said. I didn't mean to insult.

[videoblogging] Opinions on .tv extension and squatters...
Hi, y'all! I was wondering what you all thought about .tv extensions. Good? Bad? Better? I'm also wondering how to approach squatters on URLs. There are a couple of URLs I'd like to have that have been squatted on for nearly a decade. They are coming up for renewal this summer. The squatters look to be people interested in the same topic as my show, but have done nothing. Another squatter is an AOL email connection thingy... don't know anything about AOL stuff. I think they may be approachable, but not sure. How do I proceed? Do I get the .tv URL and let the chips fall where they may? Do I approach the squatters? Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: [videoblogging] Opinions on .tv extension and squatters...
Personally, I dont have a problem with .tv I used to think Its Television, Dude!, but I'm over that. Its just another extention so you can hopefully get the domain name you want. A guy has had schlomo.com FOREVER; occasionally I think I should just email and ask him for it as he doesnt use it. Thats the first thing I would do. Many people just keep them for sentimental value... I have a couple of those. Hell, I have schlomo.tv just sitting around collecting dust. You can either set up one of those automatic domain buy thingies that track the domain if they dont renew, or you could just ask them and save the time waiting. I'd just ask them and impress them with how happy you would be to get it. Who knows, they may not mind it being put to good use.

I'm stunned at the responses I've seen here. Here's something to think about. When Alan J. Lerner was working on some new lyrics for Camelot, he was struggling with one line - for a week. Jack Warner wondered what was going on, so he stopped in to see what the hold up was with his movie. Alan explained what was happening, and Jack Warner responded, Alan, stop trying so hard to different - being good is different enough I stand by Charles. Milt Lee

Well I guess there must be some real potential problems with firewire for people to talk about it, but Ive personally never had any firewire problems with drives or cameras, and I pay no attention to when I am plugging them in, or what order things are switched on. I wouldnt leave your drives on overnight, for no other reason than it wasting a small but real amount of electricity. Leaving drives on could shorten their life, but so does switching them on and off a lot. It mostly comes down to luck as far as I can tell, Ive had internal and USB drives fail, no firewire failures yet, but this pattern doesnt tell me much about anything really. As for whether firewire issues killed any of your drives, could possibly guesstimate if the symptoms of death are known.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: we should all enter this one
To David Howell's objection: I think what David is saying is that using normal or real or some class-based term as the alternative to artsy tends to imply that artsy therefore has some odd, fake, or obscure measure of worth. (correct me if I'm wrong and putting words in your mouth, David.) However, I agree with Cheryl ... I don't see what Charles said as all that bad ... I like artsy stuff and I wasn't insulted. There is a reason the term artsy has common use (and it DOES have common use). In terms of film/video, I have believed that the term artsy is used because it's generally describing a subset of stuff out there that is often outside of mainstream consumption/expectation ... perhaps normal is a poor term to use for mainstream but cut him some slack ... he did quote it - which has the generally accepted implication of for my lack of a better word - and he has since apologized for not having a better word for it. It's the nature of the human brain to classify and categorize and label ... Charles didn't create the distinction of mainstream or artsy ... and he's hardly the first to recognize it. All that being said ... I'd love to see some vlogger win this contest no matter their style! :-) - Dave On Feb 20, 2008 2:40 PM, Cheryl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh. I got what you meant.

[videoblogging] Re: we should all enter this one
Its always hard to talk in terms of generalisations and labels. Its understandable that people resent it sometimes, but sometimes generalisations and stereotypes have some truth to them, they just dont apply to people quite as broadly as solid words suggest. I mean there are a lot of 'scenes' that have their own culture, vocabulary, and feel like they are mostly made of a certain group of people, even if this is only a superficial impresion, it still means something if thats what lots of people see. I think there a lot of people who can appreciate art and culture and creativity of many sorts, but do not necessarily have the formal training/education to join in with the 'experts' or others who represent and talk about the scene publicly. But at the same time I have talked about how the BBC during the early decades of TV, had a paternatistic instinct, trying to bring 'high culture' to the 'great unwashed', and how by 'dumbing down' and offering more light entertainment, the first commercial rival was able to better satisfy the needs of the masses. And in this group we sometimes see people from different spheres of life, have awkward moments when their worlds collide. The business, entertainment, techie, academic, political, creative, arts and other angles of approach to the human condition, have all been represented here, sometimes for mutual benefit and understanding, and other times we may as well have been talking in completely different languages. From snobbishness about 'worthless crap' on youtube to labes that paint the masses as philistines, it is a minefield for sure, still better to talk about it and risk slipping and annoying someone, than be silent for fear of erring.

[videoblogging] Re: How do I create SWF files with media player skin
You need to use the FLVPlaybackComponent in F8. In the component inspector there is a field for SKIN. Default is set to NONE. CLick and choose one of the built in skins from the list. Also, you can choose for the controls to AUTOHIDE HTH adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Darren Winkler Darren Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know that people have posted on this issue in the past but I can't find any info in the posts now.

[videoblogging] Re: vPIP tutorial!
vPIP rocks! I've been using vPIP for over a year, and as I rebuild my site, vPIP is there to make my life easier. I use to only output to .mp4 and .wmv, vPIP handles both. Now I use .mov and .flv formats and .vPIP is there to make them look good. I have ideas of delving into AppleTV format and once again vPIP is there. Not only do my users have the option for different formats, vPIP gives them access to a separate RSS feed for each format. Ryanne's tutorial is bang on, very professional looking and easy to follow. Nice job!

[videoblogging] Re: we should all enter this one
Yeah. This comes up all the time in my house: the relationship/lack of relationship between class and artsy as a label. Oh, yes. So familiar. This is the conversation that comes up when my artsy fiancee gives me (reasonably good-natured) grief about not understanding whatever artsy static he bought from Aquarius Records that he likes to pretend is music, or an artsy painting painting I don't get or a sculpture I just plain don't like. Suddenly, in his eyes I'm put in the category of The Masses (that's the term I use instead of mainstream or normal, by the way). The Masses watch movies that star The Rock. They listen to Z100. They shop at Wal-Mart and buy all their clean CDs there, too. They subscribe to Us magazine. Now, I don't actually do any of these things, not that there's anything really wrong with them (except for movies with The Rock. That's truly unforgivable.). But I get pissy about it. I'm being categorized and i don't like it. So I do it right back, and call him a snob. Why? Because he's a snob. An artsy snob. Artsy people watch 2001: A Space Odyssey over and over and over and when you ask questions about what the hell is going on, they roll their eyes. They really dig Duchamp. The only good music is music that absolutely no one else is listening too. I could go on. But why does my fiancee the Sensitive Artist hate the artsy label? Because he is, in fact a blue collar and normal person who got in many a nose-breaking fight in South Boston as a youth for being so artsy. Fair enough. There's a lot of crossover between artsy and The Masses. Mr. Artsy recently rented Night at the Museum and no, I'll never, ever, EVER let him live it down. I think he's even claimed he thought it was a documentary. As humans (and more specifically, I think American humans have a worse time of it) our brains jump to labels. We label, we classify, we file, we pigeonhole. Makes things easier, and frequently it's just wrong. But it's better to try and make a go of it with air quotes, than not.

(correct me if I'm wrong and putting words in your mouth, David.) However, I agree with Cheryl ... I don't see what Charles said as all that bad ... I like artsy stuff and I wasn't insulted. There is a reason the term artsy has common use (and it DOES have common use). In terms of film/video, I have believed that the term artsy is used because it's generally describing a subset of stuff out there that is often outside of mainstream consumption/expectation ... perhaps normal is a poor term to use for mainstream but cut him some slack ... he did quote it - which has the generally accepted implication of for my lack of a better word - and he has since apologized for not having a better word for it. It's the nature of the human brain to classify and categorize and label ... Charles didn't create the distinction of mainstream or artsy ... and he's hardly the first to recognize it.

I could watch 2001 over and over and over again, but I'd seriously have to take the scissors to that interminably long psychedelic fly-over of Jupiter (or wherever the hell it was supposed to be). The rest of the movie - even the inscrutable stuff - is great fun. :) Chris

[videoblogging] Re: Apple TV vs. iPod/iPhone Recommendations?
Thanks, Markus, for your kind words. I'm glad my videos are providing some entertainment! I've yet to get up the nerve to do mostly narrated, camera-pointed-at-myself vlog posts, and still stick with simple montages. And I appreciate your note that it looks good on your monitor. Because I am using Apple TV specific settings for my enclosures right now, I have no idea how things are for those just watching on their computers like you. Steve, thanks for your comments. I did a test with 640x360, and while it ain't bad, it looks like most good videoblogs. The 1280x720 files I'm posting do look noticably better. Well, from a technical standpoint. My HD700 struggles in low light and I have a shaky hand. I didn't think about CPU load, though. I know HD Flash players can strain a machine, but do you get the same effect in QuickTime player or iTunes (specific to the video size)? And Jay, you're right, Apple is pushing specs in its own interests, not the creative community as a whole. I'm one of those vloggers who pushes my videos to a whole heap of video hosting sites in various formats in the hopes of reaching the most people. My question was specific to my feed enclosures, though, and whether I'm alienating too many folks with the 1280x720, 24fps MPEG-4 files I'm using now. Since I do post different versions of the same video, I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to run a second feed (Apple TV HD and iPod/iPhone). Sounds like a lot of work, but no more work than uploading everything to a dozen different places! Ryan HawaiiVog http://www.hawaiivog.com
