So here it is for your VIEWING pleasure, the first ever Vlog Carnival Vlogemotions. So get your vlog post up and add this button to it. You can grab the code from the left sidebar. Then make sure you come back here and enter your URL addy in Mr. Linky so everyone can see your Vlogemotions!
I want to again thank my great friend Hollie at The Drama Mama for designing the button on the fly. It came out great! In case you didnt already know, she is the one responsible for all of my site design here at The Fort.
To commemerate the start of our first ever carnival we are giving away a video camera! Thats right ANOTHER one. This one is made for vlogging as it has an LCD monitor that can face you as you film yourself. Great for vlogging right? I thought so. Check it out!
This Jazzy little number can even record up to 60 minutes of video with a 2 GB sd card, and it has a flip USB connector so you can plug the entire camera right into your computer for quick downloading.
Here is how you enter:
You must be a follower of Fort Thompson and blog about Vlogemotions. Then just leave a comment on this post that you have done so and your entered! Easy as that. One lucky persons name will be drawn via vlog by one of my kiddos and announced soon. So help get the word out about this fun carnival and win a video camera at the same time.
Have fun viewing all of these great vlog post. Some will be funny, some will be sad, but they will all be VERY much worth the look. Also PLEASE PLEASE leave a comment of encouragement to each vlog you view as it did take quite a bit of courage for many of these bloggers to post in this manner. Let them know how much you appreciated and enjoyed it even if you normally wouldnt do so. You will be surprised at how much it means to them.
Happy Vlogging!
Love and Prayers,
53 Soldier's saluted this post:
I will write about the vlogemotion Carnival.
I will encourage others to participate.
I will run screaming from my own face online.
I will entertain the thought.
I will question my sanity because, my WORD, look at the insane things I WRITE about. How much WORSE might I be in PERSON, as it were?
If I win, maybe then I'll feel obligated to participate. Here's hoping you, whoever you are, are the winner.
Tim,
what a giveaway. YOu are too much. I was going to cheat and just throw the kids up there each week, and even hubby said he would speak for me. LOL
just can't yet...Maybe next week:)
Hi Tim,
O.K so I did it. It was harder than I thought but the video is up there. I can't even begin to tell you how many takes it took. I finally had to use my son with me to give me enough courage.
I'd love the camera since it would give me more flexibility than just using my webcam.
Remember, I'm holding you to your word... I participate in your Vlog Carnival and you do my Friday Frustrations tomorrow. :) LOL
I think this is a great giveaway!
I'm even tweeting about this vlogemotions hey that should give me a double entry right ;)
I'm working on something..and will link up before the days up!
Mine is up, I'm a follower and I blogged twice, yo. Hook a sistah UP!
;-)
What a great idea, Tim! I love watching everyone's vlogs.
That's an awesome giveaway. I would love to enter. I am a follower and I will blog about your carnival tomorrow. :)
OK, Tim...I loved your vlog (with Bogey!), as well as the other's who've participated. I have the absolute best intentions of joining in on the fun...if I can only figure out how to upload my video to my blog! Will tackle it more later! For now, though, I'm off to post about your Vlogemotion Carnival! I'm really going to try not to let you down on this one! Now, see why I REALLY need to win that camcorder? LOL!
Alright...I did it. This is way outside my comfort zone, Mister. PLEASE don't enter my name into the contest.
Guess what just showed up on my doorstep? :)
I forgot to mention that I'm also a follower of yours, but I think you already know that! :)
hey I went over by 1:10sec opps I'll set a timer next time..just so I don't keep yammering..lol this is fun Tim thanks for setting this up!
yup...i went a bit over.
SO YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO POST A VIDEO TO WIN THE PRIZE!!!
what's up with that!!!!
Wow! Just found you through P.S. He Loves You. I love this idea. You even inspired me to do my first ever vlog...now if I can just get it on my blog, we will be good to go!
My post is uploading now....YIKES my video is like 3 minutes long and it has taken a long time to load...do you think that it will take that long on others blogs???? That could be a bummer!!!
A little out of focus...but hey- It is what it is....=)
Okay okay. I couldn't take the peer pressure any longer ;) What a rough one to start with, but I still did it!
i really love this carnival. vlogging is something i've been thinking about for a while. i am scared though! lol it's almost ridiculous!
for now i'm gonna be a spectator. i'll jump in when i'm ready!
ps. i'm here from Mrs. Cox!
I really thought you had to post a video to win this, but by reading these other comments, maybe not. I did one, but I'm having a little trouble uploading it. So if I can get it on my blog I'm in. I think this looks like lots of fun for everyone and a great opportunity as well.
i just said to heck with it and went for it!! :P
i vlogged about the giveaway too.
this is nervously exciting!
i feel like a dork...!
This was so much fun! I sound like an infomercial and wow, I can talk fast.
Thanks for hosting this!
(PS - the doggie is so cute!)
Okie dokie, I did everything you said we had to, and I posted my video.
Sorry if it's a bit of a bummer!
I've blogged about your carnival.
I've been a follower for some time.
I'm trying to get the nerve to vlog. :)
My post is up! :)
Looks like you had an awesome turnout!
Oh man. Am I too late?! I have to work Friday, so won't be able to record a vlog until Friday night. When does this carnival end? I actually recorded a vlog awhile back but haven't posted it yet, but it has nothing to do with emotions, so don't think it fits the theme. Maybe I'll have to get in on the next one? I've been enjoying everyone else's though!
Ok, you have a new follower -- ME -- as if you needed another (ha). But this is soooo cool! I pray I can figure out how to do it (God help me). I think my viewers will get a kick out of this southern accent of mine. Oh dear.
Anyway, this is such a great idea! Thanks for doing it.
Great to meet you! Come over to my blog sometime. I'm going to give your new carnival a shout out today ...
Beth
Thanks for the contest. It would be nice to win that camera. I put a post on my blog with a link to Vlogemotions.
Ok, this is a fun idea!
Not to mention a great give-away!
Thanks for hosting this!
I hope I did the video right :)
Blessings,
Jill
Okay, Tim. I didn't participate in your VLOGEMOTIONS thing. I thought it would never 'take off' cuz it'd be all weird and stuff. (admittance is the first step to recovery, right?)
So anyway, I've been blog hopping and getting to SEE my bloggy-friends in motion and hear their voices and see their expressions - THANKS TO YOU! I'm loving it. I really do think I'll try to participate at least once so they can all SEE ME!!!
You ROCK!
I am soooo afraid to try this techy stuff. But I will work up the courage, I just know it!!! :)
Have a great day at The Fort Tim!!
I agree with Nikki!! You should have to get behind the camera to win the prize. it's easy to leave a comment, not so easy to put yourself out there on video!! So I did it. CHECK IT!
just added a vlog...thanks time for letting me vent my emotion on abortion and healing for all of the women who have suffered post abortion. God is in your blog and thanks so much for letting us all express ourselves..
What a great & encouraging post!
Next week I may do it from my devotional blog Devotional Daze, since there are some different readers over there.
Thanks for running this fun carnival & God Bless.
I'm now a follower, and so excited about the Vlogemotion carnival.
I just linked my vlog....please enter me in your giveaway. To win that video camera would be AWESOME!
Thanks for a great opportunity. :o)
Blessings...
Beth E.
P.S. I am waaaaaay out of my comfort zone with this...thanks for the push! :o)
Tim,
This has been so much fun to see everyone, great idea. Maybe I will figure it out for next week.
Blessings,
Elaine
I just read some of your other posts, and one of them stated that the vlog should be no longer than three minutes...oops. I didn't know that before I posted mine...sorry! I'll do better next time. :o)
Yayy! I did it! My very first Vlog. Thanks Tim! Thanks for hosting the Vlogemotions Carnival! And now I am a faithful follower!! Yayy! Can't wait to see who wins. Hope it's me! ha!
Have time to visit Philippines!

Hi Tim,
I just wanted to congratulate you on an amazing first week of Vlogging. Despite the discomfort and hesitation many people had about being on camera, you still had an amazing turnout.
I'm confident that your success will only continue to multiply.
Take care
Great giveaway and fun carnival! You're always coming up with the best stuff!
Blessings!
This is such a good idea!
Hey there Tim! This was a really gigantic step for me, but I joined in your carnival!
I follow many of the bloggers that have joined you and have popped by many times.
Now it's official, I am a follower...have mentioned your carnival... and have joined you! I am really glad that you are doing this, it is a great way to get to know people better.
Thanks!
Fantastic idea!
")
I just vlogged about gratefulness. Thanks for entering me in the contest Tim.
Okay. It's up and it's worse than I expected. But I did it, so cross that off my bloggy bucket list!
I would LOVE to win! Working on my Vlog! When does it end?
What a fantastic giveaway! Great way to generate new traffic! I'm crossing my fingers and toes!
what happened to the Mr. Linky?
Alright Sugar, I linked up and just watched Marni's as well as Melissa's. They did sooo good. I think I might be so scared. You know, afterall... all my friends are doing it, LOL
Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching my bloggy friends in action. This is the start of something BIG! I'm not the greatest at talking in public, but maybe this will help get me out of my shell. So, keep a lookout for me in Vlogemotions. I'm off to find my courage. Thanks Tim!!
I love this idea! And I have a flip camera and you're right, they're awesome. Mine doesn't have that feature on it where you can see yourself...but boy that would be HANDY!
I don't know if I'll be able to participate this week. Do you do this every Wedneday or Thrusday? And do you have specific topics you're asking to vlog about or is a free for all??
Great work!
I was inspired by all these people trying out vlogging for the first time to do my own 1st vlog. It doesn't fit by the rules, so please don't enter me into the contest. I just thought some of the other first time vloggers might like to read it, so have added it to Mr Linky.
I've linked to the Fort from my blog anyway, just in case.
Thank you for this opportunity!
OK I did it. I just need to walk away now and not stress about this all day long. MAN, what the blogging community asks of me!!!
Thanks Tim!
Blessed be his name. I finally got it done. Thanks Tim, this is going to be a wonderful thing...
I have my daughter on my post, if that qualifies.
I haven't a clue what I'm doing. This is my first time.
I hope my link makes it.
I hope my vlog makes it (I know that part will)
I hope my luck makes it...I want to win...
I didn't vlog much...still VERY nervous...
but I'm here...blessings!
