No More 'Photoshop Monday' & 'Photography Thursday' Video Corners

If you’re an avid follower of the Corner Blog (you can subscribe here), you may have noticed there were no “Video Corner” blog posts last week. But, to be honest, hardly anyone noticed. While they started off as a popular section to the Corner Blog, I’ve noticed lately they haven’t been producing as many views, and very few comments. So I decided to let a week pass without any Video Corner posts to see if people would notice - and not many did. We’re not going to kill off the Video Corner blog posts completely, but they’re no longer going to be twice weekly (no more Photoshop Monday & Photography Thursday videos). Instead, when I come across a good photography/photoshop-related video, I’m simply going to share them as I come across them. If you know of some good videos, feel free to send them my way, and I’ll post them up.

If you want to go back and watch some of the past Video Corner videos, a full list of them can be found here.
