content: I quite hope this is the correct subforum for this, and that this sort of... promotion isn't (too) frowned uponBut yeah, almost a year ago i finally took the dive and started a blog, mostly to document some of my own DIY projects / repairs / teardowns (as opposed to having them spread across / duplicated on a number of forums and all the hassle that goes along with that).Mostly audio stuff (both analog and digital), but also a few power supplies, and even a digital camera "revival".Either way, it can be foundover hereFor what it's worth, i'm planning / hoping to extend onto Youtube at some point this year, but... I guess time will tell

content: I'll take a look at yours, if you take a look at mine!www.smbaker.comI was originally a text blog too, and then moved onto youtube. Aside from the occasional vocal objector, people seem to mostly enjoy the videos, though I wonder if the text presentation isn't more useful (a schematic and a few pictures can convey an idea more concisely than 30 minutes of video blogging). I also got started mostly documenting my own projects -- if I do something, even if it doesn't seem immediately interesting, I try to document it. Even if it's just something as simple as a kit build. The more information we spread around, the more people we can bring in as new electronics enthusiasts.I think you're on the right track with the repair videos in particular. There's a lot of people that have something that breaks or needs improvement, and a blog post can really help them along.Scott

content: Quote from: KhronX on March 29, 2018, 09:20:49 amIt's hard to say, the last few comments (all from the same guy) were:* "Get another voice you son of satan"* "Idiot"* "The way you speak is really annoying you have a sharp disturbing voice that makes we wanna turn you off right away. Go to hell you punk."* "Freely using other's materias yet has a copyright notice on his silly website"* "You are stupid and your voice is annoying"Ah, youtube, you bring out the best in people. I think it's the copyright issue that set him off (It's just a boilerplate copyright notice that I automatically tack onto pages by wordpress). though I suspect there are larger psychological/mental issues at play for someone to be behaving like this.
