Douglas Schumacher

Hello blog readers- Douglas Blogs has been a graveyard of activity in the last few weeks, and if you are not following me on my YouTube channel, you have been missing all of my content.  The video above it is a quick recap vlog of my experiences in Nashville at the 2014 Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference at the end of June.  It was a long bus trip but well-worth it to compete in Introduction to Information Technology.  Watch to the end to see how I did. I don't know what the future of this blog entails, so in the meantime, please follow me on YouTube .  Thanks.

Description:  I talk about the Amazon Press Event tomorrow, including analyzing the official preview video and making some predictions of my own.  The press event is happening at 12:30 CST on Wednesday, and afterwords I will have a quick summary video.  Also, the second episode of Douglas Broadcasts will be live on YouTube at 8pm CST that evening.

Description: Today's video is a blast to the past....to May 4, 2002.  Just days before my sister's birth, my Dad (meteorologist Tony Schumacher) and I gave a video tour of the WAOW studios in Wausau, WI. This video is a part of my home VHS digitization project this summer.  Enjoy...I'll have a new video right here on Monday.

Description:  In the inaugural Douglas Broadcasts podcast, recorded live on June 11, 2014, Douglas talks about this week's weather, and discusses with Wyatt, Micheal, and David about this weeks current tech headlines.  Topics included Minecraft, the Magic School Bus, and, yes, chatbots.  Douglas Broadcasts is streamed live every Wednesday at 8pm CST.  Visit http://dougaschublogs.blogspot.com for more info.

Welcome back to the 2014 edition of Douglas Blogs.  After about 9 months off, it is finally time to fire up the ol' Blogger for the fourth year.  Speaking of that, here are some tips that I have accumulated using Blogger: 1. Write a blog about something that you have a passion or interest in.  It makes it much easier...and you can always change the topic, as I did back in 2012. 2. Make your blog look sleek yet inviting.   You want a design that is clean and easy to read that still features your pictures and other multimedia. 3. Don't just use your blog....create a comprehensive online profile across many social networks.  I personally like Blogger's built-in Google+ and YouTube integration. 4.  Blogger's URL system isn't that great for readers to remember.  Try creating a shortened link. 5. Stick with it.  As I begin my fourth year blogging, I know that the road ahead could not be as fulfilling as I may want it to be, but that's okay.  A blog is a great
