Another week. Another week. The are spinning by so fast it’s become time to do this post and I don’t have any new links yet. I haven’t given up doing these lists … yet. ;-)
I’ve got Facebook, WordPress, Consuming, Mt St. Helens and more.
CaptureFox – Make Quick and Easy Videos with a Firefox Add-On
Recently, I came across a Firefox add-on called Capture Fox, which creates quick and easy screencasts of your screen or browser area.
In the past I’ve used Jing but I wanted to try this add-on since I don’t need to go to another site to use it.
Of course, one of the best programs for screencasts is Camtasia but I don’t make enough videos to justify purchasing it at this time.
Make Your Site Look Like Geocities: Geocities-izer
Remember when every other site was on Geocities? And remember how ugly all of the sites were?
Now it’s possible to bring back the glory days (1998) and make your current site look like a Geocities one.
Here’s what this site looks like. Lovely.
How to Not Ask For WordPress or Facebook Help
I get A LOT of requests for assistance. While I prefer that people ask for help with a topic in an article I’ve already written and leave a comment, I am not adverse to people emailing me or filling out the contact form. Calling for free help, however, is pushing it.
Some say that I shouldn’t offer any free assistance but I disagree. People have answered my questions and helped me out, especially Jeff Starr and Stratos. When I first contacted Jeff Starr, however, it was about an article he had written – I didn’t just ask him random questions and expect him to answer. I was also very grateful and thanked him repeatedly. And Stratos helps me out quite a bit and, although he doesn’t want me to, I frequently pay him. And someone that you answer a quick question for might become a paying customer.
But, here’s the deal. There needs to be limits, respect and patience. And here’s an example of what not to do.
(Anti) Social Lists 5/16/10
Yet another week has rolled by and another week of me thinking of discontinuing this feature. Well, I guess I’ll see.
This week I have freelancing, Facebook, more Facebook, man-made disasters, The National and more.
Enjoy!
