Embedding Media: the Nerves of the Blog

Even though I am way behind in completing the "Kick Start Your Blog Challenge," I am determined to finish and keep the blog rolling.

I realize that I am guilty of boring blog posts. To me, those are the posts that have no pictures, no video, no nothin' except words. I admit that there are times I just want to write/complain/preach and I don't take the time to add interesting media to support my rant. This is dangerous to the health of my blog. I know that, personally, I am more drawn to a blog that includes some type of media.

I have added a video below that has nothing to do with embedding media or nerves, except that maybe it will calm some nerves of those who just want to see something fun. If you've never read Knuffle Bunny or held Knuffle Bunny, you might want to try sometime. He (or she) is pretty cool. My daughter thinks so too.



While I would not advocate that people, me included, add media to a blog post simply to make it look good (as I have here), the video above is designed to make the point that it is more interesting to see media in a post.
