“What’s a vlog?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hmm. How do I answer my friend’s question in a few words?<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s like a blog. But with video.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven words.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was quite chuffed with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

He thought for a moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“OK… I get that… I know what a blog is… it sounds good.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“So…” I continued. “That’s what I’ll be doing. And that’s why I shot the video today on my phone. Thanks for taking part in it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vlog\"<\/a>
Blogging with Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And that’s what today’s blog (sorry, I mean vlog) is about.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s an insight into my fell-walking jaunt with two of my best mates, on a rainy and windswept Cumbrian mountainside.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know it doesn’t sound as exciting as exploring foreign regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the funny thing is… exactly one year ago, we were in Poland, visiting Auschwitz and the salt mines.<\/span><\/p>\n

But back then, vlogging wasn’t on my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Friday, though, it was, as we climbed up to Helm Crag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several hours of activity, climbing through the wind and rain, are packed into little more than 3 minutes of video.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please write a note below to let me know what you think of my first “vlog”.<\/span><\/p>\n

And whether you personally prefer video or the written page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n
