Hi everyone:
Since launch, the most common feedback I've received is "you need to show the product in action". So, I added a screencast demo. Amazingly, it took longer than coding a significant feature. I had estimated 30 min. but it took several hours.
Lessons learned:
-It takes longer than you expect to get to "good enough".
-Invest in a usb headphone/mic combo (sorry about the audio quality- mine is en route from amazon).
-Youtube couldn't process the swf format produced by Jing (I had to extract the video and ultimately converted it to AVI before uploading for best quality).
-Lightbox libraries do not play well with mixed jquery versions. I had to pull the same libraries used on example sites.
Please critique before I share with my target market (corporate IT and Helpdesk managers).
Thanks!
