As bloggers, we are always looking for a way to one up our game, and always having a creative supply of images and videos to enhance our blog is essential to providing good content, whether it is entertaining or informative in nature. Often times we want to use video, as it has a higher retention rate in the viewers eye, and breaks away from the mundane task of always reading to glean the information. Video is always more captivating, and has a tendency to keep the 'reader' on your page longer.
