Youtube housekeeping tips

Hey you youtubers and 888DAGgers,

I have to admit I am very excited about having my own youtube channel now, being able to upload my own clips and share them with family, friends and the rest of the world.

Now here are some handy housekeeping tips for you to get your clips to a wider audience.

First of all you can be as creative as you would like to be. Once you have logged in just click on the Edit Channel to change your Channel Information, Channel Design and to Organize Videos.

You can also edit your clip through the Video Owner Option by clicking Edit Video. Here you can change the Title of your clip, Description and Tags.

Here are few points we would like you to consider.

1. All Clips should have the following Tags

• 888DAG, 888DAG.com and any others you would like to add

2. All Captioned Clips should have the following Tags

• 888DAG, 888DAG.com, Close Caption, Subtitle, Deaf, ESL and any others you would like to add

3. In Description you can add you own description of your Clip. Please add the following to your description if your Clip has been captioned.

• Closed Caption and Subtitle for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community. Reading English for ESL.

There are quite a few groovy functions in youtube such as Insight in Video Owner Option where you can follow the popularity of your Clips eg in which country your clip was watched the most.

Last but not least it would be great if you could please Subscribe or become Friends with the other 888DAGgers (of course not exclusively) - check out youtube channel 888eyeoftheleopard for a listing.

Please leave a comment if you have any questions and we will try to get back to you asap.

Remember it's all about fun all the time

Q&A: Blog not refreshing

I received an email asking for help with the following issue:

My blog seems to have been frozen as I am not getting any updates. When I browse my blog it's not been updated. I thought how strange that no one has been blogging since last week and discovered they have!!! Do you have any idea why it is doing that? I have tried refreshing it - but nothing!

A couple of things may be the issue:

- if you are accessing your blog through your favourites you may have bookmarked a post rather than the blog URL itself [the latter will always just end in blogspot.com [nothing added after the .com)
- some computers just like to take a few moments to head to Bermuda and confuse us half to death and they can sometimes (not sure why) store an old version of the page - refresh should assist here (although I note in this case it didn't)

If anyone has any additional ideas (as this is a shared portal of tips/assistance after all) please add them in the comments section. Shared knowledge = greater knowledge :-)
