Al’s YouTube Channel-

My ‘Turning fence palings into dressed timber clip 1’ got over 9000 views

YouTube channel

Note: My main reason for using YouTube is because my basic WordPress paid account does not allow for direct video uploads to wordpress.com – they need to be hosted on some other external site.

When I want to post videos to my WordPress blog I first upload to YouTube then grab the embed code and past that into my blog post using Open Live Writer.

DIY dray for our ringtail possum family – part 4
