Hey everyone!

I hope someone a bit more tech aware than I am can point me in the right direction. I want to start up a video blog... basically, each entry would be include a video and text, the option to leave a comment, etc. I would also like to have a forum attached.

Further more, I want to have my video blog available in iTunes as a video podcast.

Finally, I want my own domain name. (example: www.whatevernameichoose.com)

Can anyone offer a nudge in the right direction?

Thanks kindly!

C.W.

Looks like I've been looking for wordpress and accompanied hosting. Does that sound right?

Not sure if you're on Mac OS X, but if you are it's dead simple

wordpress + Squarespace for domain and hosting sounds like the right combo to me.
it will also allow you to make an rss feed for people to subscribe too.

I ended up going with bluehost and wordpress. Squarespace seems good, though. Hopefully I didn't make a bad choice.

Chet,

Just saw this. But you made a wise choice with Bluehost, so long as you don't have to stream too much content from your site. I use them as one of my cheap servers and they always work and have GREAT customer service I've used many times.

I just started up a video style blog (for interviews) and used a wordpress template that was free , travelogue is the name. Cool and see it here. - http://eflclassroom.com/eltinterviews

Good luck,

DD
