smart computer use?

I’m not sure how this one slipped by me, as I use Wordpress pretty much every day. A co-worker pointed out to me that there was a Wordpress.tv now online. Yeah!

Online video for the purpose of learning how to use Wordpress to it’s maximum benefit is great. At the office we frequently need to figure out how to better train people how to use Wordpress, and this new video resource at Wordpress.tv fits very nicely for that purpose.

There is video content teaching the the most basic of Wordpress operations, such as creating a new post, all the way to technical stuff such as installing Wordpress on a local WampServer.

I tend to like to read content more than watching videos myself, but I’m slowly warming up to the idea of watching videos on the web for learning purposes. I can’t skim as easily through a video, and need to learn some patience, but watching a video can go into much more visual detail when required, which can help greatly in learning processes.

Another thing I should mention is that I find Wordpress.tv to be a great model for video blogs. It has a simple and clean layout, is easy to navigate, and puts all the focus on the video content and the followup comments. Good stuff.
