Kevin Canada asks:
I’m looking for a YouTube consultant who can help me design a channel to work with this horrible new look being forced on us. I’m a writer and I need to tell a story not just have videos.

February 13, 2012Hi Kevin, can you share a link to one of your videos in which you have told your stories ?
So we can get the idea what you were able to do, and how it is not possible now?
How and using which features did you use to tell your stories, which are not available now ?

February 15, 2012Now, I got it.
Did you add “featured tab” on the new look ?

Select a style that suites your channel the best.
But the description of the featured video will not be available, is that the problem ?
As the descrition will not be visible on channel view,
You can use channel description, to ask people to watch videos in a new tab to read it’s description.
You can also use captions or annotations on the video, if the description is short.

February 15, 2012I recommend odesk.com. I think this is the best site if you’re looking for freelance worker. They really have a nice system there.
THANKS FOR ALL THIS GREAT INFORMATION!

February 16, 2012No, I am not an expert of customized youtube channel, but according to my knowledge,
you will have to use edit channel option, and set a featured tab, that’s all I know.
Watch this video, and see the channel also:

Even warner bros use the feature tab.
