How to Properly Upload Video to Your Blog

I am linking up to a bloopers blogging party for this post!  This stupid post seriously took me hours to figure out.

Someday, I shall be smarter than my computer.

Some.

Day.

To join in on the Blooper Fun, click here!

1.  Buy a fancy new phone, just because the salesperson talked you into it.

2.  Discover on a Tuesday night  that your phone can capture video.

3.  Decide your son is uber precious and you must share this with your poor, unsuspecting blog readers.

4.  Wonder if you can post from your phone.

5.  Guess what!  There's an app for that!

6.  Spend too much time trying to upload video to blog via phone.

7.  Become annoyed when error code http 500 pops up.  8 times.

8.  Wonder how a clueless gal who writes a pointless blog is going to discover the meaning of any error code, let alone the 500th one.

9.  Become flushed with embarrassment when you discover that it did post to your blog, it just forgot to load the video. 

10.  Become even more embarrassed when you see many of your poor, unsuspecting readers have tried to click on this link.  This link that claims to have fantastic video.  Video that will change their lives.  If only they could see it.

11.  Give up.

12.  Get mad.  You are Taylor Maliblahblah.  Sure you can't sew, make pie crust, stick to a diet, properly parallel park, prepare recipes with active dry yeast, exercise, or correctly fold a fitted sheet.  But I'll be darned, Taylor Maliblahblah, if you can't share your cute son with the world.

13.  Try again.

14.  Fail.

15.  Decide to take video from phone and put on computer.

16.  Become confused.

17.  Ask your Facebook friends.  Who hook you up.  Holla, Facebook friends! 

18.  Wonder why video is just sound, no picture.  Wonder if anyone would notice.  Or care. 

19.  Decide tonight is definitely a long underwear night for snow-blowing bliss.



20.  Wait for painfully slow uploads and jazz.

21.  Scrub toilets.

22.  Scrub tubs.

23.  Teach some school. 

24.  Discover that all waiting and uploading failed.

25.  Eat a piece of fudge.

26.  Order something called QuickTime.  Wait 4.7 years for that nonsense to install.  And it doesn't work.

27.  Feel bad about fudge.  Do 10 jumping jacks and call it good.

28.  Look outside.  See that Lucy got into the garbage.



LucyFur.

29.  Call sister.  Complain about all the injustice of the computer world.  Plead for help.

30.  Look in the pantry for more food. Discover that Lucy somehow opened the olive oil.



LucyFur.

30.  Implement sister's plan.

Which appears to work.  And now, after almost 48 hours of trying to share this video with you, I have to pose this question:
Does anyone really care?

Will anyone actually watch it?

Probably not.  And if it doesn't work, just keep that to yourself, too.

Or else I will have to eat some fudge.  And this time I won't do any jumping jacks.

So there.


What you have there is my Little Dude singing, "Mommy and Daddy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."  Then he tells me about trucks.  And then he refuses to kiss me.

See?

Completely worth 48 hours, a lost jug of olive oil, dirty diapers on my porch, and 2 pieces of fudge.

This video made possible by my Sister Meagan.

Three cheers for Meagan!

PS-For the love of everything, please tell me you like this video.

Thank you.
