Upset with Blogger

I’m a bit upset – I’ve had trouble logging into Blogger all morning.
I tried to migrate to the new Blogger months ago. While it was still in Beta.
And all the time I’ve been told, “Sorry. We can’t migrate your blog now. Please be patient. We’ll let you know when you can.”
Well, now when I go to log in I don’t have an option. I get stuck in a constant loop that tells me I must log in to the new Blogger.
Yet when I do it I get the same message again. Somehow I was able to log out of my Google account and access my Blogger dashboard (for now). Either way I’m hearing WordPress or someone else calling my name.
If you’re a regular reader here now would be a good time to subscribe to the RSS feed (or e-mail subscriptions) to be sure you don’t miss any of the action in case I move to a new server/domain at casadeblundell.com overnight.
Anyone else having problems?

Firefox flicks

Just found this today while browsing Mozilla.com.
Firefox fans are starting to air new TV commercials for their favorite browser. There’s some good stuff out there.
I love to see fan interaction and involvement in marketing.
Viral-marketing is amazing. I only wish we could get more people to do the same things with our faith and churches.
How many pastors (even media ministers) would be excited if their church members started making ads and posting them around town or even coming together to do television or radio ads?

Watch a collection of videos submitted for the ads.

Retelling the story

There’s an interesting interview on Poynterwith Bill Dedman (MSNBC and Pulitzer prize winner) about his new move to online video work with MSNBC.
I think the most interesting part of this interview with Dedman is the statement that newspapers should not localize the national news.
Instead they should nationalize the local news.
Why do people want to hear the same story they’ve read or seen somewhere else again?
Find a story happening locally and find a way to make it a national story.

Keep your computer running

Nothing sucks worse than being in the middle of a project and watching your computer come to a complete stop.
While it wasn’t a complete shutdown, the computer we use for running MediaShout at church completely shutdown the software package during yesterday’s service. Quite annoying but made me glad it wasn’t my week to run the presentation software. We simply restarted the software and were back on track but an annoyance – especially during worship.
