Over on the Daily J, our friend Tori is working hard to bring Japan’s community of bloggers together. As well as projects such as Nipponster and Japanopedia, he is regularly giving exposure to blogs and community-driven websites such as JapanSoc.
To my surprise, he has started on a series of video tutorials for each of the tools on my JapanSoc Toolbox page, starting with a guide on how to install the JapanSoc Voting Button. Since I think video tutorials are an excellent idea, I’ve made one myself!
The JapanSoc social bookmarking button is a textual or graphical link at the bottom of a blog post that when clicked, automatically submits an article to JapanSoc. Here’s my first attempt at a video tutorial, a 9 minute overview, stealthily avoiding all the details and focusing only on WordPress.org blogs.
If you can’t see the video, watch it here on YouTube.
Note: I made this video using Hypercam (shareware) and Windows Movie Maker (bundled with Vista).
If you like, you can find me on Twitter at @nick_ramsay. I'd love to hear from you!
Nice tutorial!
Did you use the same software? I don’t know why audio didn’t work for me. I guess it could be my microphone or sound settings.
Anyway, this is why I love screen captures. They make it so much easier to explain how to do something. (now if they only had a screen capture tutorial to explain how to use their screen capture tutorial… 🙂 )
Ha ha, good point! I used Hypercam, but it’s not free. The quality is pretty good though.
