The front page has more than 30 themes. Can anyone tell me which one is the right place if I feel the need to share a video with other harmonica players. Of course we have Youtube where nothing is found. Should Adam set up a new topic for these, and now I do not mean lessons and so on, but something lighter but still related to blues harmonica playing. Here's an example:

You can do it a couple ways. You can post a thread. It will fall off the front page eventually, but not until people have had a chance to look. You can bookmark that thread and add videos to it later, which as long as you add it in a new post on the thread will bump it back up.

For busking videos there is a thread dedicated for posting videos. I don't think we have one for other types of videos of us playing though. That might be a good idea. Sub-forums would work too, but they don't tend to get nearly as much traffic. I know that threads with lots of videos linked can sometimes open slowly for people with slower connections or computers, which I think, is mostly why we do it one thread at a time.

You can also add a link to your YouTube page in your signature. The site YouTube channel hasn't got much traffic. I think Tooka ran that. It was hard to run because it meant we either had to pass out the password to the account to everyone or have everyone send us videos to upload, which would be very time consuming.

A simpler solution might be for someone to start a couple public playlists on YouTube, one for harp playing, one for just harpish videos that aren't quite on topic (maybe one for tutorials?). We could dedicate one thread here to a link to that (I could at it to to the FAQ page). If people wanted to get a video added to that playlist they could add a link to it in the thread (which would pop the thread back up) and whoever had access to it could add it to the playlist. (I don't know if it's possible to have a playlist that more than one person can add too. I can look into that, but just clicking over to YouTube and hitting the add button would be something one person could probably handle.)

If people are interested, I could look into that.
