    Do you make video tutorials for your members explaining things better to them, or showing them how to use features.

    That is actually a neat idea BSMedia, videos being the way forward on the web surely a video FAQ would be very useful, I might make a few of these and see how theyre liked ;)

    That's an idea I've had, but never managed a site worth doing it for. I think the new Setsou could benefit from videos, though. ;)

    I have for one newer site I moderated
    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YkIvDkWR0U&feature=channel_page"]YouTube - TheBigTV.net[/ame]

    It's ridiculous 'cause I sound stupid. I'll be making photoshop video tutorials for a site that me and Dave are re-opening. :D

    Wow, watching that video, I think I need to go find a screencast program. :P Zooming in is crucial for these things.

    I'll look it up, download it, and see what it does.

    I just tried my hand at it really quick with this Jing software, made by the people who created SnagIt and Camtasia. I love it so far, and can easily find this pretty fun and entertaining. :D This is just quick-and-dirty, no messing with audio, not editing, just straight from the recording.
