[videoblogging] Categories

[Jack Nelson]

Hi,

I'm still pretty new to all of this, so here's a beginner's question:

A day or two ago someone mentioned having categories in his/her blog (sorry, I wasn't
keeping notes). I use Blogger to post my entries and I don't see categories anywhere on
the Blogger pages. Am I missing something or is this a feature that only more
sophisticated blogging software has? Right now I have two blogs, one for clips and odd
stuff and one that is about my experiences here in Mexico (DroppedFrames.blogspot.com
and AGringoInMexico.blogspot.com), I gather that I'm splitting up my "audience" by not
having just one blog with categories. Now, I'm lean towards the Michael Verdi "I don't give
a fuck if you watch or not" school, but still I'd like to know if there is an easy way to add
categories to my blog.

By the way Michael, the Yin/Yang videos are classics.

Jack

hi,
as far as I know, there is no support for categories in blogger
typepad has it
not sure what others do
there was a posting of a blog feature comparison chart recently that
might help if you want to search for it

Hey Jack,
You're not missing anything - Blogger doesn't have categories. As
far as having two blogs you can always cross post some stuff - tell
one group of viewers about the other. Put links to the other blog
and it's feed on each blog. If you want categories though, you'll
have to get off blogger and spend a few dollars. I lot of
videobloggers use WordPress, TypePad and Moveable Type. Check into
those.

OK,

Thanks Michael. I've put links from blog to blog and I'm not gonna
switch from Blogger for now at least; a combination of being cheap,
lazy and not giving a damn.

OK, thanks Marcus. I'll stick with Blogger for now...

you might try going to bloggerforum.com and checking the archives. i
believe that many there have made revisions to the templates to creat
categories. lots of other great ideas and tips too.

MSN Spaces has categories.

It is the only free blog service that allows for publishing video
from cell phones. You can check out my Spaces Blog at:

http://spaces.msn.com/members/ndr/

This weekend I'll be publishing video clips to my Spaces blog
directly from the foot paths of Seattle Center as part of my Bite of
Seattle coverage. After the festival, I'll publish video on google
and youtube.com and link to them on several of my blogs.

Blogware supports categories and each has its own RSS feed which you can run through
feedburner. You can also choose not to have a category bubble up to the main page.

Blogware is available only through resellers (such as blogharbor.com), and in my opinion is
the best, most feature-rich. That's why I use them for audioblog.com's blog, my wife's
company, my podcast, vlog, and blog and any other properties like KSSX or
podcastRoadshow. I also accepted them as a sponsor. I stand behind Tucow's product.
