UTube

I ended up watching animal videos....and it was interesting to leap around by viewing the most viewed, top rated etc. Then I tried to find all of the octupus videos by the various tags....had some fun. I found that the podcast websites and utube were not set up in the best way to seach. I had to bumble around to find poetry reading specifically in SC.
But now I am totally confused about which would be better to link to your blog- a video or a podcast of a poetry reading? I initally thought a podcast, but I am having a hard time getting any of the podcasts to play on my computer today. And the videos are loading quickly....any help?

Podcasts

I played with the first two links trying to search for a podcast of the SC poet laureate Marjory Wentworth but could not find one to watch. So it might be a good thing for CCPL to do in the future. I then started to search for south carolina libraries and watched some interesting podcasts. For the BLOG:
libraryliteraryadventures.blogspot.com
I recently added pictures of one of the writing workshop events and have been interested in linking podcasts of poetry readings to the blog. We also had an interesting author panel discussing spirituality in literature...which would have been a great podcast.
