The blog is good for explaining technical material, and has a lot 
of value because of Google, but I agree YouTube is better for 
evangelizing.

One suggestion I have is that the format of PLTalk by Jean Yang 
might be a good fit when you want to get others involved. If 
you're not familiar with it, she has a Zoom chat with someone, 
that person demos whatever they're talking about, and she asks 
clarifying questions. She records the talk and uploads it to 
YouTube. Here's an example that would work well for short demos 
of changes to the language/new libraries/whatever:

You might have other plans, but it's one way to reduce the cost 
for yourself and for others.
