Oh, don't change your avatar - it's good to see the human behind the channel :) The birdy watermark is enough!

I planned on doing vlogmas too, but didn't because I extensively plan my videos, so they take a looong time to produce. I applaud your decision to take the plunge and make videos everyday. It inspires me to create more without overthinking and overplanning. Thank you for that :) Looking forward to the next videos in Codemas!

The thing is that since I changed my avatar, the watermark will change also. At least I think so! We will find out!

Just the thought that I inspired someone makes really me happy! Well, since you need to plan your videos, you could start with something simpler that doesn't require you to upload everyday! Having to upload everyday and trying to keep a decent quality is really demanding but I would prefer to skip a day if I had to upload something that I wouldn't enjoy watching myself!

Press the record button and start talking! It will take time, lots of time, to start having a flow, you will have long, awkward pauses, twist your tongue, it will be frustrating, but once you get there, you will love it!

I think it's better if you don't over-plan it but still have a fair idea of what you want to talk about. It will make the videos more human since you will talk more freely, without bias to go by the script!
