Bye Bye Motionbox

Thanks to my great friend Jen who looks out for her fellow mommy-bloggers, I am aware that time is running out for my current favorite website for video sharing. The site I've used for nearly three years that allows me to easily upload, edit and share videos with you on this blog has apparently grown large enough to capture the attention of Hewlett Packard, and was bought by them. The downside? HP is shutting them down and offering no comparable substitute for the Motionbox users.

Mommy-bloggers unite! Thanks to Jen's endless research, we have found http://www.pixorial.com/ and -it's still early - but I think I might like their services and options better. There are certainly more steps involved between uploading raw video and sharing final product, but so far, so good.

Here is our test run. Let me know how it works for you, if you have problems watching it, etc. If the video keeps stopping, pause it for a few seconds to let the blue line run past the orange line.



And now to begin the task of pulling the last three years of our videos off Motionbox and uploading them to Pixorial...

How adorable is my baby's most recent school pic? (Family members, your copy will be in the mail soon... I've gotta print them first.) On our camera, a visit from Sitti, fun in the pool, first trip to the movies, hangin' with the Cuz, and a visit from Uncle E highlighted BZZ's month. Photos here.
