Yesterday there was a meet of LINUX Localization. I recorded it on my handycam. I will edit and try my best to put it by Monday. I think I will go ahead with WordPress. Since mine is just a 500MB webspace, I am not going to upload videos here. Vloggers can use the download button link it to

Andrew, I agree that it would be cool having people make vlogs about focused topics. I also think the random personal ones are good. I'm not sick of those. That said, developing some focused vlogs would be great. These vlogs would serve dispersed populations with common interests, and that

Has anyone used Drupal? I've heard that it's community functions are pretty nice. I know Qpodder uses it for their community podcasts. Anyone have any experiences with it? Bill Streeter lofistl.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Pete Prodoehl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Navin Dhanuka

This is precisely what I've tried to do with my vlog. I focus on rock and roll, but not just rock and roll but the narrow sub genre of Garage Rock. It's not so much of a community effort but I do post videos that bands and other people send me. The problem that I'm finding is that many people

PHP should throw an error in $_FILES['userfile']['error'] letting you know what went wrong (1 for upload larger than the php.ini limit, 2 for upload larger than the maxsize HTML attribute limit). Whether Wordpress actually checks these values is another matter. But that's a bug in
