ActiveRain Video Tutorials - A Call For Requests

ActiveRain Tutorials LogoOpen Call For Ideas

It never fails. Each time I post one of my tutorial videos, like this tutorial on Picnik.com or this tutorial on how to embed anything in your ActiveRain posts, I get an email or two asking how to do something else on ActiveRain. It happened again yesterday. So...

I's time for a complete video tutorial library.

I truly enjoy doing them, so don't be shy. As Sue Argue says, everyone starts at the beginning. There are lots of places on ActivRain where you can find written descriptions with photos, but sometimes it's helpful to see it in action.

So, leave your requests here and I'll make a list. Once the list is together, I'll knock them out one at a time and post a complete list of videos for everyone to use in their online learning process. Don't be afraid to request a tutorial on something that's outside of ActiveRain that might help you here... like embedding Trulia Stats, for example.

Go ahead, raise your hand. There are no stupid questions.

Hi Jeff,  do you happen to know a site that can host PDF docs as a link to put in blogs...like plats, surveys, disclosures?

Stephanie... whoever is hosting http://www.youragentsteph.com/ should be able to provide you with an FTP location that you can upload files to. However, there are many free sites for file hosting. Here are three. I can't attest to their quality, since I always use my own FTP.

I would like to figure out how to add a Subscribe To My Blog button at the bottom of my posts. I think my clients would use it. I assume there are a number of issues I don't understand about it.

Jeff,

I got a couple but my first request would be to do one on how to jaz up your blog background.  I see all these cool back grounds and I have no idea how to do it.

By the way, I am a newb here at AR and I have told myself to just sit and watch your tutorials -- it calms my need to run because all this is so overwhelming!

Thank you and Blessings!

Today is my first day learning about blogs - I have watched several of your videos already and they are full of really good information - and they are easy to understand.  Thank you for your time and energy!! I have a question - how do you put things on the right side of your (my)page?

TLW,

Dang!  I didn't know you could do that!  Now I have to figure out how you did it.  See you on your blog!

Mike...

It's really easy. I did do a tutorial about it. Good luck and be careful.

Not everyone is enjoying themselves with video comments.

Please note that I am all the way back here with Hubba.

I'm here because he lets me do what I feel like doing on his blog :)

TLW...ROAR!
