How about a screencast on objectdockplus?

I know you are probably looking more along the lines of showing how to use various parts of various programs.

But being a newer member who has only been signed up here just under a year and who for the first 6 months of that didn't do much more than just sift through the site to see what I could find. I would think a really great screencast for the community, mainly as far as attracting and keeping new members, would be to have a screencast posted on the Wincustomize homepage.

My reason would be there are so many different things on the site and different ways of finding them all. Personally there were alot of different functions of the site that I never noticed because when I first came here I started searching through individual libraries listed on the sidebar. Being that my main goal was finding things I could use, I didn't really pay attention to all the different site functions and got stuck in the habit of just searching things one way. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this.

So I think it would be great for new users to see a screencast the first time they log onto the site that would show all the different ways to find the things you are looking for. It could also point out the usefulness of things like the forums and help pages for information on getting involved with skinning. And if you combine those things with the fact that you could make the screencast while logged on yourself and show people how the site looks without the ads and such once you subscribe, it could work, not only as a helpful tool to show people around, but also as an advertising tool to attract new subscribers.

I cannot answer this question because my wife might see it someday. 

IslandDog, your screencasts are wonderful! I just watched your WindowBlinds recoloring one yesterday. I wasn't using the eyedropper correctly. In just a couple of minutes you did a great job of explaining recoloring. Then I ran across your ObjectDock screencast. What a God send! I just purchased OD+ yesterday, and your screencast had me up and running and having fun with the program in mere minutes. Prior to that, I had searched around for the tutorials, but they kinda made it seem like the program was complicated, but you made it a breeze! I think zakai1369 has some good ideas for community related matters. If you take that a step further, it would be great if your links to screencasts were provided to new subscribers, as well as people who purchase additional products. I know this is a long-winded reply, but I just wanted to let you know that what you have done thus far has already been invaluable. Like the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words"! So to answer your question, it would be great if you could do screencasts for each product. You sure have a knack for it! I suppose IconPackager (specifically regarding when, how, and in what order to restore icons, rebuild cache, etc.) and IconDeveloper would be appreciated by most everyone. Please keep it up! I'm a happy camper!

Still surprised more people didn't have suggestions for this thread.

But not finding the function in the following picture until today, makes me think even more that we need one showing the ins and outs of the site.





Just never had the urge to click on the download numbers before I guess.
