I'm going to be posting some Youtube videos over the next 6 weeks as yet another way to introduce new people to GD and the BF site. These will be in addition to the ones bigjimslade will be doing. None of these videos will likely have anything in them that you don't already know from visiting the site, but they'll basically be site updates and other news that hopefully end up being returned in Google search results and help us get the site promoted in other ways.

I just uploaded the first one which is a quick tour of the BF site home page:



If at all possible, sign up for a Youtube account if you don't already have one, rate the video (5 stars of course ;)), and leave a comment either saying how excited you are about BF, or how much you love GD, etc... And if you want to subscribe to our channel, that would be even better.

And who knows, maybe I'll pick some people who help me out and send them a BF t-shirt... ;)

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who helped out. Look for a new video posted soon and we'll do this again!

Ditto! Are the other videos going to have sound of some sort? it's a bit odd with no audio. -Mike

No Problem sir.

Good first effort!

Here is a link to a source of around 230 holiday tunes that are released under the creative commons license.
You might be able to use them as background music.

yeah i'll do that next time. thanks for the link.

i guess you can add one of youtube's pre-loaded songs into an already-posted video, so i just picked out a boring instrumental just so there isn't total silence for this one.

also, for those of you who subscribe to our youtube channel, similar to our myspace friends, we may end up using that as a way to disseminate "information" (text lists, links to pdf files) that we may otherwise not be able to post on here... ;)

lol it only took me 20 minutes, but I did it! I clicked on the link and posted a comment and did the rating THEN realized that my computer signed me in under my son's You Tube account! So I had to create my own account, but every user name I picked was already taken, then I couldn't read half the security words you have to re-type, so then I'd have to re-fill out half the form.... but I did it all for you Brad!

Make sure you are logged into YouTube


I am. I hit Post Comment and it just turns the text a light grey color and does nothing else. It says comment pending approval but it's not actually black (looks in use).


I tried logging out and logging back in and it tells me I have posted several messages (tried it more than once), but they aren't showing? It let me rate it and favorite it, but won't let me comment on it. UGH:mad:

Oh, i didn't know they had to be approved. That's why it wasn't coming up. (Used DH's account to do it so I don't know much about youtube) Mine's on there now.

Edit...looks like everyone is telling username (if different from here) Dh's is Jojofilter1.

Done deal, but had to come up with a new name, so BFshopper I became...I was surprised no one had used it.
