A small apology… this was my first screencast on this subject, and there are a lot of “ums” and awkward pauses. I’ll try to reshoot this later, but just note that later videos are a lot better, in this respect.
I talk a lot about WordPress. I’ve developed websites since 1994, and WordPress is the single best tool for websites that I’ve found. The reasons are subtle and non-obvious; While it’s easy for people to learn (relatively), and thereby gives a small business a great way to communicate via the web without having a dedicated HTML jockey on staff, that’s not the main impact. The main impact is that it is Search Engine Catnip!
The first few ScreenCasts I made are a simple introduction to WordPress. Each is only 5 minutes, and they are just me voicing-over a tour of WordPress in a web browser. They’re bite-size and painless, and create an overview.
Now, I’ve continued the series actually guiding you into logging-in, and creating Posts. I’m planning two more in the immediate future that cover the Editor features.
Getting Logged-in. 5th Video on ScreenCast.com
Editing and creating posts: 6th Video on ScreenCast.com
The posting process: 7th Video on ScreenCast.com

The second series will actually guide you into creating Posts and Pages, placing photos, embedding content from sites like YouTube, and so on.

In later series, I’ll gradually introduce you in-depth to these features and concepts behind them… I’d like your opinion of these screencasts, please comment!
