<—— A quick reminder to Retweet if you enjoy the post … Thanks!
As you may, or may not have noticed, some of the videos I have added to the blog take longer to load than others. This usually happens when I host the videos myself due to their size and/or length (as opposed to embeding them from YouTube for instance).
I’ve added several videos to my blog for the Blogging for Bucks BootCamp and I’ve never run into any problems while doing so. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this and make sense of why this is happening.
I don’t know yet but one guess is that for the BootCamp I posted the videos on static pages as opposed to using a blog post type entry.
I’ve tried the same video format that I’ve used in the past and I’ve even played around with some other formatting and it’s pretty much the same result. I have always used the video upload button in the admin section (image below) and I use .swf format like I’ve always used in the past) so I’m not sure why this is causing so many problmes.
I have posted the last video lesson/tutorial (Keyword Research) onto a static page and then I’ve link over to it … and we’ll see if we have better luck with it this way.
I have edited the post here: http://www.suzannefranco.com/keyword-research-my-tactics-and-formulas-video-tutorial/ and I’ve placed an image of a player there so that when you click on the player it will take you to the static page with the actual video. Here’s a direct link to the video page if you want to check it out: http://www.suzannefranco.com/keyword-research-video-tutorial/.
I’m hoping this will cut down on the load problems we’ve been experiencing, as well as, the problems with the RSS emails that go out when I post.
Meanwhile, I will be searching high and low for some answers so we can all learn from this. Thanks for your patience. *SmiLes* Suzanne
P.S. Did you have any problems loading the posts that had video in them? If so, which ones? What browser were you using? Do you use video on your own site/blog? What format do you suggest I use? Any feedback and/or help would be greatly appreciated. 
P.S. To create the videos … I’ve used both Camtasia screen capture software and I’ve used my Flip Ultra camera and then imported the file into Camtasia to edit and product it.
