Several years ago vlogging (video blogging) was pretty popular. A lot of traditional bloggers seemed to be transitioning to vloggers at the time. I was intrigued by it and wanted to try it out, but never felt comfortable in front of a camera, so I didn’t.

Since the introduction of Tik Tok and Instagram Reels (plus Instagram and Facebook live feeds), vlogging seemed to disappear. Or maybe I just haven’t seen it around very much in my corner of the web. I feel like podcasts may have played a part in the disappearance of vlogging as well.

I was thinking recently that I might be at a point where I would be comfortable in front of the camera for short bookish videos, which got me thinking about vlogs. Would it be worth it to post a video to the blog, or should I go straight to an Instagram Reel or Tik Tok post?
