Feature & Follow Friday - To Vlog or Not to Vlog

Alison Can Read Feature & Follow

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! This is a blog hop that allows bloggers to gain new followers and find some awesome new blogs to follow themselves!

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host has a blog that they feature each week!

So, if you're a blogger, come join in on the fun!

Here's today's question -

Q: Vlog Contest! Vlog about why you want to be next weeks feature! If you are too shy to put yourself on camera – tell us why you are sooo shy.

I can't really explain why, but vlogging is just not my thing. On the surface, it would seem perfect for me because I really love to talk and I was a theatre major in college, so I shouldn't be all that camera-shy. But then I'd actually have to look nice when I blog and I just don't think I can handle that. I'm sitting here in my pj's right now and that's just the way I like it!!

I'll be sure to check out all of your fun vlogs though!!

Pj's are a wonderful thing. My daughter and I would both lounge around in them all day if we could! (I homeschool my kids so occasionally we do!).

Oh well. I think a lot of us don't want to be caught on film, and I'm one of those myself.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Way too much work to make myself look decent - I'm a lazy blogger! :-)

old follower here. I am of the same opinion as you. My blog is something I do in my comfy pants with a huge cup of coffee :)

Exactly! Comfort is paramount when blogging!

Heehee! Nice! I'm not a vlogger either! In fact, I hated every sort of speech class I had to take. And presentations made me nervous as heck! And when I get nervous I talk really, really fast. Because in my mind, the faster I talk the faster the presentation is done!

Here's my Follow Friday

Have a GREAT weekend!

Not much for vlogging either but I also don't have a webcam. I totally understand the part of having to make yourself look good. I am in my pj's too and I would have to put make up on, etc before attempting to put myself on a vlog...LOL Old follower via bloglovin. Have a great weekend and happy reading!

I know! It's just not worth the effort to make myself look decent! One of the things I love about blogging is that I can sit around in my pj's and do it!

Okay, now I have to go see your vlog since you were brave enough to do it in your pj's!

I'm actually sitting in my pjs right now too. I usually do vlog, but some things happened where I just can't right now.

Vlogging? They're really making us work now aren't they? Ha ha. Yeah my hat's off to whoever can do a vlog, and pull it off... wouldn't be me though. Now my kids- they might do it! :)

I totally agree with you that's a very good reason not to do a vlog. I'm in my pj's as well. Since I'm a stay at home mom, I spend most of my time in my pj's so it would be frustrating to have to look nice for a vlog... :)

HAHA I totally get that, because I am the same way. I probably would ramble on too on a vlog. I am not a shy person either, but I think I can be a lot more eloquent with my written words than with spoken ones.

Exactly! When you write, you can plan out what you're going to say a bit more (and re-read it to make sure you still like it afterward). If I talked, I would just ramble forever!!
