	Now that we've totally done away with the "Captain's Log" classification system, what I'd like to do with this template is turn it into a template for "Chris's videos for fans". (The template name could remain the same, I suppose.) Assuming that everyone's cool with that, I'll soon start to go through the current template and re-organize the videos listed. Some will stay here, some will get moved to "Sweetheart videos" or "Troll videos", and some will stay here but also be re-posted in one of those other templates. Whether a video stays or goes, it'll be renamed in the template(s) from "Captain's Log" to whatever its official title is. This plan sounds solid to me, but I thought I'd give a heads-up just in case.
