Every once in a while, YouTube completely stymies me.  I’m not sure what is happening or why and have no idea how to fix whatever happens.  It happened today.  Rich uploaded a video as “private” so I would be able to add the information about the video, and add icons that will take you to other videos, and notes that explain things I feel might be unclear.  Once I am done with that, I change the “private” to “public.”  Once I do that, the video is the first one to appear when I click on my page.  For some reason, it’s not there, but if you click on videos, it does appear.  Since I couldn’t figure out what else to do, I changed it to “private” again, and then changed it back to “public” thinking that could be the answer. It wasn’t.  I’m not sure how most people get to my most recent videos, but if they do it the way I do, they won’t know there is a new video.  Geez, this is frustrating.  It’s a really great video because Rich did a really cool  introduction for it.  What to do, who to ask?  The last time I had a YouTube question, their site lead me to a video on, wait for it, YouTube.  It didn’t give me the answer there so I was left scratching my head.  So I decided to give it another try.  I typed in “missing video on YouTube” and it gave me several video games and several  songs from Puff Daddy to Justin Bieber.  Well, those aren’t going to answer my question.  Maybe I should sing something like “Where oh where did my video go, oh where oh where could it be?”  Sadly, it gave me “Oh Where can my baby be” and weirdly enough, “Last Kiss.”  I guess I’ll wait until tomorrow to see if the problem has been resolved and if it hasn’t, I’ll try again.  Or give up and hope viewers find it another way.  Maybe they can read my blog to find it.
