John did not hide the recipients list (I have removed it here), so a large number of email addresses were publically displayed to the masses.

Comparison of YouTube and MSN Soapbox Video

When I embed a video on YouTube, and then the same video on MSN, you will notice that MSN Soapbox produces a higher-quality video then that provided by YouTube.

RSS Feed on my Homepage

Yesterday, I installed a script on my main at Nztechie.com to automatically display the last 14 posts from my Blog on my homepage.

This complements the Google Video Bar which is currently showing my last four video posts to YouTube. What would be really good would be if I could generate thumbnails for recent additions to my photo gallery as well.

You may also find that I have embedded the Google Video Bar on this Blog as well.

Google Video Bar

A few months back, I found a wizard on Google which allowed you to embed a videoroll of YouTube videos onto your website or Blog.

The key feature which grabbed my attention was the fact that you could just limit the shown videos to your own YouTube Channel. The embedding option that Blogger provides doesn't let you control this.

After months of searching, I have found the wizard again at:

I'm now looking at embedding the "Video Bar" (as it is called) in my website, and/or on my blog.
