First and foremost, before you do anything, Drag This Link [TO CHANN3LZ AND BACK] to Your "Bookmarks Toolbar" in Your Browser, anytime you click this link: the video you are watching on youtube, will be added to the last channel you were in when you were in CHANN3LZ.. OR if you haven't been to CHANN3LZ In a while, it will be sent to the "Best Stuff" channel. This link is called a BOOKMARKLET, all you need to do is put it in your "Bookmarks Toolbar" (in Firefox, look under "View >> Toolbars") or bookmark it (in Microsoft's Internet Explorer). Again, anytime you click the link as a bookmark or as a link the "Bookmarks Toolbar", it will add the video you are currently watching on YouTube, to CHANN3LZ.. Then it will return you to YouTube.

Tip: If using Firefox, and familiar with tabbed browsing, use tabbed browsing to open a number of videos, then switch to the video's tabs, click the [TO CHANN3LZ AND BACK] link and close the tabe before it can return you to YouTube (or [TO CHANN3LZ] which will add the video to the last selected channel, and then will return you to a, quickly downloaded, static page).. Or if you want to add a video from youtube to CHANN3LZ's best stuff channel while cruising videos on one of the other channels, liek the 80's channel, you can use this bookmarklet [THE BEST]. The bookmarklet [THE BEST AND BACK] does the same, but will return you to the page you were on at youtube..

One can accomplish transferring as many as ten videos a minute using this method.

IF YOU GET STALLED DOWNLOADING A VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE, AND WANT ACTION! USE THE ZAP BOOKMARKLET FROM THIS PAGE.

Note: If you add videos to the "Best Stuff" channel, please don't select videos from a playlist or from a particular band. The channel is reserved for the best stuff, but not for your particular tastes. If this is abused, I'll be forced to go into the database and trash videos by brute force method. Most people add stuff as they come upon it in one of the other channels, or as they find it on YouTube. If you want to watch your favorite band, watch it on YouTube, don't put it in the "Best Stuff" channel.. BTW, I'm planning to add playlist support some day in the future (used to be "soon" but its taking longer than expected), so that you can create playlists devoted to particular musicians.

Note on above note: This option was added back to "Best Stuff" after it was determined that the feature to add all videos (aka "WOW THESE ALL LOOK GOOD") was determined as the real culprit for adding junk to the "Best Stuff" channel.. So the "WOW ADD ALL THESE VIDEOS" option was removed for when the channel is "Best Stuff", to force you to be selective with the "best" video content.. Please don't abuse this.. This option will only show up in this page, not the as a link on "Best Stuff" channel.

Okay people can trash videos you put up, but the chances of that are either great or small, I can speak from experience, it seems like people add content more than trash it.. Even so, if it does, you can always add it back, or you can bookmark it and call it up in your bookmarks list.. And so can anyone else.. But just because you put it up, doesn't mean everyone will like it.. But it also doesn't mean it won't influence someone else, it probably will.. It may not happen today.. You may not ever know who it influenced... Chann3lz is not so much about influencing others, or finding others with similar tastes.. It's about the wow factor of finding something you like, by accident.. That's it.. And the more you and everyone shares their favorites, the better it will be!!
