Creating a YouTube Channel

Believe it or not, creating a YouTube channel is free and easy.

But, Why YouTube?

As it also turns out, I can’t upload video that is any larger than 64Mb directly to this blog.   That is only about 4 minutes of video.  I had promised video of the Central Elementary mini-marathon race and spent about an hour editing the video I took trying to make it small enough upload.  I just couldn’t get the file small enough… and so

Enter YouTube.

I should be able to upload a video of any size to YouTube and then embed it into the blog.   That is the hope anyway.  I think it should work.  Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.   I won’t know for sure until this video is uploaded… and it is taking long enough for me to write this entire post.  :/

How do you find the Jensen Journey Channel?

Easy…  Here is the link for you to follow (I hope it works, please let me know if it doesn’t).  Or you could just go to YouTube and do a channel search for “Jensen Journey” (I have no idea if that will work).  If you have an account you can subscribe and follow us and there will be a permanent link on your homepage.

Am I getting a little ostentatious with our own channel?  Yes!  Does that bother me? No!  Should I care more about that? Probably.   But hey, I have mental problems, so you really shouldn’t criticize me 🙂

So we hope that you will soon find yourself enjoying more videos on this blog.  Getting people to visit that channel isn’t the goal here.  Our goal was just to find a way to post longer videos of our adventures here on the blog.   Hopefully it will work the way I want it to.  Any other advice about this is welcome.
