  1. Welcome to the vlunderful vlorld of vlogs! I have yet to work up the gumption to sit in front of the camera and talk… everyone makes it look so easy. I like the concise nature of your entry — your middle name. Looking forward to more of your journey through the book.

  2. Thanks! I have to admit, I was extremely nervous. I did two takes, but ended up posting the first because it was more natural!

  3. very coool.
    welcome.
    great first video…lets go out into the world!!
    but first….you need a feed.
    we need to be able to subscribe to your videos.
    go to freevlog.org…
    step #7.
    ask me any specific questions.

  4. Ryan, it’s “Lee,” after an uncle of my mother’s. That’s the other reason I hate my middle name– what a horrible thing to do to a little girl!

    Jay: I have a feed! http://feeds.feedburner.com/mortaine

    Only thing is, I’m not sure if the video can be subscribed to, and I’m having a hard time testing since don’t actually have an RSS feed reader, just a LiveJournal. Can you subscribe to it and download the videos?

  5. Welcome aboard! Lots of wonderful people out in the vlogosphere, as I’m sure you’ve already realized.

    Look at the bright side, at least they didn’t name you “General Lee” 🙂
    Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with your name.

    Your camera is ultra clear, by the way!

    Look forward to seeing more of your video’s and seeing what this book does for you.

    Thanks for sharing your life w/us!

  6. My cousin (male) was born the year after I was.

    His middle name is Grant.

    I’m telling ya– the middle name nonsense just keeps getting better and better!

  7. Welcome to the vlogosphere! Great to see another woman out there. The ratio is a little lopsided. Looking forward to more great videos!

  8. hi, what better way to intro yourself than to reveal your middle name… 🙂

    mine is eugene. i think i only liked it for one year of my life…when I went through some intellectual nerd phase at 13.

    btw, install ANT or if you add your feed to vlogdir (i noticed you added your vlog) then you can test it there using the video aggregator (play button)

  9. Wow – you put it on the line and on-line. I like your spunk kid.

    I’ve been reading the list for about four weeks and yesterday I posted my first video.

    Just keep on doing what you are doing.

    Congratulations.
