i don't listen to podcasts either, but it wouldn't hurt to add it; a choice for those who do listen, at least.
maybe you could also consider adding sound to the videos, like the simple blog example, etc... that shd add to the user experience of those resources too. (OT) what software did u use for the screen captures? can anyone on the list suggest a good free|open source|works-on-linux software for screen capture that allows easy integration of sound? I was planning to create a few video tutorials myself, down the line; I know of vncrec and xvidcap, but working with sound with them isn't trivial. thanks, -- eokyere On 12/4/05, JR Boyens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 12/4/05, Geert Bevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 12/3/05, Keith Lea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'll write since no one has responded.
