Filed in Just Vlog It


**This is a sticky post – it is stuck to the top of the front page so that people can find the Just Vlog It rules and theme easily.  My more recent posts appear below it on the front page.**

The theme for the first Just Vlog It competition for the chance to win a Slanket is:

Teach Us Something!
That something can be anything you like.  It can be silly, funny, serious, impart some great wisdom, absolutely anything. Just please keep it to below 4 mins long (a little over is acceptable but under is better :) )
To enter Just Vlog It and win a Slanket
1. Make a vlog based around the theme Teach Us Something.
2. Post it on your blog and link to Cafe Bebe.
3. Email the url of your post to justvlogit@hotmail.com before midnight (UK) Tuesday 9th March.
4. On Wednesday Karin from Cafe Bebe and I shall pick the best two
5. On Thursday voting begins.  Both vlogs shall be posted at Cafe Bebe where the blogging public get to vote on their favourite.
6. Voting closes midnight on Friday 11th March and the winner will be announced over the weekend
7. All entries shall be included in a great vlogging carnival here on Monday 15th March.
Not sure what to vlog about?  Looking for some inspiration?  Have a look at these great vlogs, all of which teach us something.
Karin’s vlogging tips is a good place to start.
Dan’s amazing coke and porridge experiment is a great example
Pippa’s recent Disney dancing teaches us why she never became a prima ballerina
The vlog tour of my farm imparts some interesting local knowledge
Now what are you waiting for?  Get vlogging!

My interest is piqued! I may just do this one…. my first vlog even though I’ve been blogging for 5 years. Hmmmm *searches brain for something that involves only hands for demonstration so face doesn’t have to be shown*

I’m a bit camera shy too but I’m sure I can think of something that doesn’t involve showing my face lol….. Am I allowed to rope in some mini helpers?

of course you can. and no one said you have to be in front of the camera – you can be behind it instead if you like, like I was on my farm tour vlog…

Yes, I’m in it to win it! As I said to Karin, my vlog is about 4 and a half minutes long so do understand if it’s too long. I’ll try again next time, but if you want to see it, it’s here http://crystaljigsaw.blogspot.com/2010/03/farm-walk.html (Amy has done the video of me and she’s chattering away on it)

ha ha ha…just do anything really – i think most things can fit loosely into the teach us something bracket which is why we chose it for this first one.

don’t worry about it. they are guidlines really not hard and fast rules. We’d be buggered if everyone made one as long as yours for watching them all but don’t worry this first time.

To link to cafebebe just put it somewhere in the post like i have in mine saying something like cafebebe is where the competition will be hosted or something…you know what i mean.

Wow you have been busy while i’ve been away, everyone seems to have gone Vlogging mad but i’m affraid i haven’t a clue where to start, don’t have a web cam thingy but i do have a blackberry, could i use that?

#26 notesfromlapland :

I use either my webcam or the video camera on my mobile – others uses digital cameras that take video or have a video camera, i reckon a blackberry would work just fine! Excellent, would be great to have you join in!
