Brad Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFdSvV-vtOs 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!
Ravenseye Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Ditto! Are the other videos going to have sound of some sort? it's a bit odd with no audio. -Mike
kellane26 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Some rockin' music in the background would do wonders.
Brad Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 yeah i'll at least add some music for the rest of them. just wanted to get something up quickly for this one and since i'm not really a youtube person i didn't know what the rules were for adding music (copyright stuff, etc...) thanks for the help :)
Ravenseye Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) 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.http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/10-100-creative-commons-christmas-songs-Mike Edited October 15, 2008 by Ravenseye added link to music

Brad Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 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...
koalamom Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Consider it done! Five stars and a comment to boot!
jendeere Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 gave 5 stars and left a comment. I hadn't signed up there before and my username was gone:gdangry4:
tbarry1974 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Totally brilliant! YouTube is an awesome tool for reaching the masses. Subscribed, Rated Commented. Good Idea!
theboyzmom Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 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!
lindaw Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Great video. I gave it 5 stars and left a comment (I hope!)
PinkPrincess515 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I Love It! And What A Brilliant Idea :) I Gave It 5 Stars Of Course, Added It To My Favorite Videos And I Think I Left A Comment But I Didn't See It Posted So I Will Go Check Back After Awhile.
fairydustcrissy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 5 stars, comment, subbed, and added you to my favorites. and that is a very prestigious place, as only 3 other users have made it there
SuperMommy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I'm trying to post a comment and it won't let me for some reason.
wx4svr Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I'm trying to post a comment and it won't let me for some reason.Make sure you are logged into YouTube
SuperMommy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Make sure you are logged into YouTubeI 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: Edited October 15, 2008 by SuperMommy
shoppingfever Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Done! Unfortunately, I had an error (at instead of out) and it is driving me crazy- oh well! Thanks, Brad!
Brad Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 thanks to everyone who signed up. just got done approving all the comments :)
SuperMommy Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) thanks to everyone who signed up. just got done approving all the comments :)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. Edited October 16, 2008 by SuperMommy
Yakyma Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Done deal, but had to come up with a new name, so BFshopper I became...I was surprised no one had used it.
