I was saved from YouTube

Wahoo! I finally got my first video to upload to YouTube. I really knocked myself out for too long to no avail. I set up my username and password just as they instructed then when I clicked the ‘sign in’ button and signed in it still spit out the command ‘sign in’. I figured …Oh well…and clicked the upload button. My screen just turned blank except for the message…’Redirecting’…then the little square dots traveled along the load bar, (just like they should). When it completed its tedious journey nothing happened. It just sat there. You could wait for days and it’s still redirecting. Arrrftghhh. After doing this for about…way too many tries, my brainstorm activity kicked in and I posted the perplexing question on my (book publisher) “Publish America Forum”, begging for help to determine how I was possibly screwing this up. Well, Bob Greer ( www.publishedauthors.net/b.d.greer www.authorsden.com/bdavisgreer ) was nice enough and replied to my query and advised me to try a different browser like Firefox/Mozilla. Hmmmmm. Reluctantly, I downloaded this and retried… again. Guess what happened. Everything worked fine. Life is good again! Who would have thought that this would do the trick? Or should I say, I didn’t think that this would do the trick! Anyway it’s great. Now I have 2 browsers, (that is what it’s called eh?) and that makes me a techie… I think.


Yes, I’m Canadian.



As well as these blogs that I do every week, I’m also producing a video blog on YouTube, mostly geared towards backpacking treks, and stuff from my book; “Friday on the Trail”. I’ll also be uploading clips about my website with my bio, favs, It’ll be fun, so keep watching for me. I’ll be the stah of a clip.
