youtube views...

A couple of weeks ago, I posted up a video of the Scotland vs. Richmond football game on YouTube. I just put together some of the pictures I took along with a few video clips from the game for nostalgia's sake. My main goal with the video was putting something out there for those who went to Scotland High and have since moved away so they could reminisce on their high school days. Ever since I added it, the views grow more each day and right now it's received over 600 views and is, by far, the most popular video I've ever posted. I may delve into putting more local blog fodder on my blogs just to see what happens...

Videos processing slowly

We're currently experiencing a very high volume of uploads, causing upload times to be significantly longer than usual. This issue should be resolved shortly and all videos that have been uploaded will become live on the site soon. If your video is in the processing stage, you don't need to reupload it. Thanks for your patience!
