How To Video Screen Shot Tutorials

[Gregg]

I was wondering, have the how-to videos from screen captures been easy to view, understanding, and make sense?

Yes, I thought it was easy to understand. I'd suggest the "oops, wrong file name" part of the video be edited out to make the How To a bit more concise, and maybe show how to cut and paste/copy a link from a photohosting site album, such as Fotki or Photobucket. I recall it was mentioned in the video, but whoever was doing the video narration typed in the photo link from memory, which is something most people would likely not be able to do.

I agree in general, and I think the weakest link (no pun intended) is that these two tutorials are needlessly complicated and perhaps dated. In posting images., just about everything can be accomplished through a process of copy/paste at every stage without manually typing in stuff like URLs. And the Photobucket tutorial completely overlooks the process of how to upload images to Photobucket, which is essential to first-time users.

I found them useful, and they worked for me. I think new folks who might not know how to do it will find it ultra helpful. Just my ten cents.
