I encourage the use of widgets, but I am not sure your video bar is serving your purpose. It shows videos on random topics. If you could get it to show videos on your company or products it would be a better tool for your blog.
Heidi,
Do you mean the you tube video bar on the left side of the screen?
Because it is just posting video's from bell?
