Blogging in Plain English Video from YouTube
This is a simple explanation of blogs from The Common Craft Show with Lee LeFever. The Common Craft web site is an excellent resource. Lee and his wife, Sachi, make three minute videos about a range of subjects, explaining what can be complex issues in simple, clear terms. They use interesting techniques, as you can see from this video about blogging. I highly recommend them.
