Yesterday, I learned something at The Oakland Press about how to shoot, edit and post simple video clips. I was lucky enough to have Karen Workman, a reporter at The Oakland Press who writes The Dog Blog show me and another blogger, Chef Stacy Sloan, who writes the Cooking from Scratch blog, the basic steps of taking, editing video and creating a finished product to put online.
It was a wholly practical exercise: Karen shot my video first, and then it was Stacy's turn. Stacy got to edit her video and create her video "movie" first; after that it was my turn, with considerable coaching from Karen. Ultimately, the video will be used in streaming to promote my blog). I was extremely excited to see the finished product and thank Karen for her patience.
I may attach a video clip to the blog soon!

Food Blogs I Recommend
I read a lot of food blogs before starting to write one myself. Some of my favorites are listed here by category.
Vegan/vegetarian/other special diets
Kitchen La Boheme
I love the artistic photos that go along with the food Alyssa Yeager writes about. It's fun and sassy. Takes quite a while to load up on dialup, though. (I know, I know. I must get into the 21st century soon.)
Vegetarian Times (self-advertised as the world's largest collection of vegetarian recipes).
Vote for up and coming chef finalists in a VT contest or enter the reader contest here. I have liked this magazine for years; the online version is equally good, featuring numerous resources.
General Healthy Food
Clean Eating. If I could have only one healthy food magazine, this would be it. The website gives a good sampling of what's available in each magazine. Also, see my prior review here.
Desserts
About.com features all kinds of dessert/baking recipes, including healthy ones. You simply click on the appropriate category or do a search. My friends from work and I found a bunch of recipes here for the cookie exchange we had last December. (I really wish I could recall which no-bake recipe I used, so I could give you the direct link. It wasn't the most healthy recipe, as it had a fair amount of sugar and butter, but it did have whole-grain rolled oats in it, at least.)
Random
Medieval Cooking. Jennifer Strobel has some thought-provoking entries. Currently, she's in the throes of planning an authentic medieval-style feast. Updates fairly regularly, but apparently not more than once, maybe twice a week.
