Darren hi great videos, we have created a blogging script that also creates website pages, my son actually created it, just wondering would you ever consider promoting it a bit we could kinda use a boost of getting it out there, in turn you would get a portion of the proceeds, it's a static website script called the SimpleBlog V1.0, just thought i'd ask you can check it out at the link on my channel, thanks for the consideration!
We kind of carry the camera around all day. It something interesting is happening, one of us films it. But, basically, we keep a real steady routine to give us some normalcy and also to give stability to our four adopted kids, who come from unstable backgrounds and crave routine and need to know what to expect all the times. But we definitely enjoy blogging, that's for sure!
Darren you are the guy responsible for the success of too many bloggers,they follow you,learn a lot from you and concentrate on blogging,the video was awesome and nice kids by the way.-by a blogger and problogger regular reader.
Hey Darren, great video. So many people forget or don't realize the business behind a website or blog, time management is so important, if you don't manage your time effectively you just get lost and will never be productive.
Darren, thank you to you and your family for taking time to share with all of us. We are keeping things balanced by having time zones in our day, week and month, just as you do. However, we keep it all flexible to fit our family's needs. Rigid scheduling comes off to my family as selfish and self-centered, even if I mean it to be helpful. So, I'm learning to keep it fun and flexible.
Great video! As a mom to three boys working from home, I totally relate! I like your tips about getting priorities right even when time is really tight! We have to learn the true definition of focus. I am still working on it...
Great video I am new to blogging and always find it hard to balance everything such as family, school, work, blogging, and I must say this video has helped! Thanks So Much ! You are great!
Nice video - looks great and the kid is a cutie! I find the work/life balance a struggle too. Still figuring it out, but mainly I'm just making the personal stuff more of a priority now and committing to things with friends and family and just sticking to it regardless of if I feel my work isn't done and I'd like to "just one more hour". :-)
@kimsherri I've made a summary of how I make money blogging at ProBlogger
Ultimately its about building an audience and then making money from that traffic either directly by selling advertising or doing some affiliate marketing - or indirectly by selling yourself in some way (either as a consultant, selling a product of your own etc).
Great video! Balance has to be kept at the forefront. Are you going to give some insight into that shallow depth of field video? Looked great And again, great message
@benwhitecomau the video was shot on a panasonic GF1 - great for shallow DOF although I need to turn off the facial auto focus as it seems to have gotten a little confused - next time :-)
Great video! I love the way the video is focused on you with a blurred background. I noticed that the focus on the camera kept jumping around in parts. Is that because you did not have the focal point locked down? My camera lets me lock the focal point on a subject, but once you start taping its stuck there so the subject has to stay where it was in scene or it gets blurry.

@thaipulsedotcom I agree. Would love to see the "headquarters" office where you are able to focus and get most of your blogging done.

Fantastic Camera. I have a flash animation series but I am tempted to buy one of these cameras, as the animations take weeks to make!.
Thanks Darren :]

@AmazingAaronTV yes I need to play more with the focusing in video - this was my first one with the GF1 so hopefully next time will be better :-)
