Take the Next Step with Vodcasts
Where podcasts generally are audio-based,
a vodcast is
online delivery of video-on-demand content.
The video enclosed in a vodcast can be
stored on a Web server and streamed (that is, consumed,
read, heard, viewed) while it is being delivered from
the server.
There
are several steps to making a vodcast. To get started
you will need:
-
A
digital video camera that has the ability to export
videos to a computer either using a cable or memory
card
-
Sufficient hard disk space and a high-speed internet
connection
-
Video-editing software such as
CyberLink’s
PowerDirector,
Ulead Video Studio
or Pinnacle
Studio
-
The ability to generate an RSS feed (the vodcast
itself) and host it on the internet
Just as with podcasting, once you
have created a vodcast,
consider submitting your
feed to a directory such as
VodCast,
VlogMap or the
Videoblog Directory.

From our visitors:
I recently had the pleasure of reading the article
that (Sara Solovitch) eloquently wrote about Hollie
and her recovery from the disease of addiction. I
wanted to thank you for writing such an honest
piece. Hollie and I were roommates during her entire
stay at Chrysalis House and we graduated on the same
day, March 22nd. We are great friends and sisters in
recovery. I am blessed to know her and truly
appreciate what you did. You are a champion for
showcasing the hope that people have who choose to
live instead of give into the disease of addiction.
Most sincerely, Susie Quinn
I
remember watching the "Saving Carrick" "Dateline"
special report, and thinking how I wished they had
mentioned more about methadone maintenance as a
treatment option ...
