Video Tutorial of the JapanSoc Social Bookmarking Button - helpful guide for Japan-bloggers
On March 01, 2008 in Community building, Helping Japan Bloggers
If you haven’t yet be sure to leave your thoughts on the discussion about the Japan-related web!
Just a few days ago I posted a video I made in an attempt to guide people in putting a JapanSoc voting button on their blog (blog posts). The video didn’t turn out that great (and the audio didn’t work), but I will be making a second attempt soon.
But, the video did inspire Nick to make his own tutorial for another JapanSoc gadget, the social bookmarking button. And I must say he did a better job! Here it is:
I think it would be great if video tutorials like these became more and more common on Japan-related sites. There are many possibilities. We could have tutorials that teach newbie readers how to navigate the site or give them a simple self-introduction. For all of the Japan-related tools available it would be great to have screen-capture videos that explain how to use their more difficult features.
What do you think? Once I gain a little more skill with the software I might go on a tutorial making rampage.

I’m glad you liked it! Like you, I’ve been really busy lately… making video tutorials! I’ve just launched OshiboriArt.com, which is full of photos and videos about making origami with hand towels. I totally agree that video tutorials are excellent and there should be more of them. Anyway, now my new site’s finished I can get back to JapanSoc and the “Japan-related Web”.
