As I promised the folks in my Blogging workshop last week, here’s the screencast of how to install and use the BlogThis! bookmarklet. (It’s in .swf format so you’ll need to be sure you’ve got the latest Flash Player installed in order to view it.)
On a more technical note, I used CamStudio to create the video and convert to flash. It also wrote an HTML page for me that embedded the video, instead of linking to it like I’ve done here. That code looks correct and is correct based on every bit of reading I’ve done on the subject. However, it completely works only in IE. In Firefox I get audio but no video. Take a look at the page if you’d like to help. If anyone has any suggestions or pointers please let me know.
