Screencasts for Learning Movable Type

I have spent some time checking things over on the weblog site and have prepared the following screencasts to help you get a good start with editing your weblogs. Screencasts are usually an effective method for getting people going on a new technology and you ought to consider using them with some of your outreach projects because they can jumpstart technology adoption. My favorite screencasts are by Jon Udell whose InfoWorld website (actually weblog) is one of the best technology columns going.

For now here are the screencasts. I will add more as I think of them of by popular demand.

• Resetting your password in the blog editing system
• Reentering the blog editing system with a replacement password
• Creating a blog entry
• Adding some value to a blog entry
• Changing the style of one's blog

I appreciate the opportunity to meet some of you and to speak about some of the questions that weblogs touch. I have uploaded my Powerpoint here. And I have also uploaded my program from last year.
