When we're ready to make the switch, I'll post an update with the details around the down time.

This update will be the first of several exciting website changes that will help better serve our expanding audience!
I don't like change.

Thats great, I hope it won't change too much and will still be the home that us regulars love.

The channel on Youtube was a great idea.

I'm embedding LBG videos on the different forums I go on. Great stuff!

For those who haven't discovered this yet, almost all of our free videos have been posted on our YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/lynnblakegolf

All free videos on the new site will be in flash format and can be easily embedded in posts and throughout the website.

Hey, I don't like Flash. You can't rewind, pause, enlarge, slow-mo, increase brightness/contrast, gamma correct, etc.

V1 can play flash videos, including videos directly from YouTube. It can pause, rewind, and step through the videos.

If you want to open flash videos in your normal video software, you can download a video codec pack here that includes flash video:

That will be handy. Thanks. I suppose that flash has fewer problems and is faster loading among other benefits.


Hey Bambam, is this an example of feel? http://www.jellybelly.com/

Yep, flash is the standard for video on the web, and it's much more flexible as far as delivery and being usable within the forums and other parts of the site.

"feel" in terms of web design is how you interact with the site - buttons, navigation, etc...

I'll have to do a search for them, but there were some Barclay's youtube clips from 2008 that can be added to that channel.
