My Goals for 2012: aka Nikki’s Life Improvement Plan

Kind of as the picture suggests, really.

 

Anyway, I know I’m a bit late with sharing this.  I wasn’t sure whether to or not as I’m still in the process of fleshing these out into specific tasks (& then diarising those tasks), so it may seem a bit woolly at the moment.

 

Firstly, I should confess:  I rarely make New Year’s Resolutions.  Actually, make that never.

 

For me, they always seem to be about giving something up, or some kind of deprivation, or some other negative connotation.

 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

 

I hope wherever you are that you’ve had a great time celebrating and seeing in the New Year.

 

For me in the UK, that will be in a few hours’ time.

 

I’m having a quiet one this year; last year my boyfriend and I went to a party dressed as Morticia & Gomez Addams (from The Addams Family) – I know, not much of a stretch for me to dress up as a gothic witch! But it was a great night & we didn’t get home till gone 6am.

My Seven Link Challenge – what’s your opinion?

Barry Wells kindly tagged me as one of his 5 nominations, so as I can’t resist a challenge, here I am!

 

 

 

 

If you’re wondering what the Seven Link Challenge is all about, then this should give you the info (taken from http://www.tripbase.com/blog/my-7-links-the-rules/)

THE GOAL

To unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create

Hello,

 

Here is the second part of my Beginner’s Guide to Amazon S3.

 

(If you haven’t seen the first part, it’s here: http://nikkistephens.com/online-business/amazon-s3-beginners-guide-part-1/

 

In this post & video, I show you 3 different ways of uploading your media to your Amazon S3 account.

 

1) Directly uploading to your Amazon S3 account from your computer

2) Using a program called Cloudberry to upload (works like Filezilla)

3) Using Easy Video Player to upload to your S3 account.

 

When In Rome…(for the second time)

Hey everyone,

 

I’m busy fighting with Photoshop and planning my next couple of videos & blog posts as well as creating my Facebook fan page, but in the meantime I thought I’d share my second Rome adventure with you all.

 

If you haven’t see my post from my first adventure, it’s here: Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day

 

 

Oh, and in fact this second visit coincided with my first anniversary with Chris – you can see my ridiculously personal post about that here: Sometimes You Should Just Take A Chance.

Amazon S3 – A Beginner’s Guide (Part 1)

Hey everyone,

 

Today I’ve started on my Amazon S3 series, which will take up the next couple of blog posts as well.

 

I’ve created a video for you to show you how to set up an Amazon S3 account, and in subsequent posts I will show you how to upload files (videos, audio, images etc) to your S3 account, and then how to use that to embed your media on to specific pages.

 

I will also be using Easy Video Player and Amazon S3 together, so I will show you how to do that as well.

Sometimes you should just take a chance…

[Warning - this is a very personal post so if you're not interested in that sort of thing or you have an aversion to a very rare moment of niceness from me, then don't read this!!]

 

 

Ok, so now you’re either reading out of curiosity or because you are genuinely interested in my life. Whichever it is, please respect that this is a personal post.

 

Normal service will resume after this post.

 

…………………………………….

 

The reason for this post is simple – today (4th October 2011) marks my first anniversary with my boyfriend Chris.

Understanding Easy Video Player – Q&A Session

Hey everyone,

 

Sorry for my absence, but I’ve been working on my latest report.   Not only that, but I’ve also put myself in front of the camera as well!

 

What is this new report about, you may ask?

 

 

Well actually, the title of this blog post should kind of give that away really…

 

I’m one of those people that always has questions about things.    How does it work, what does it look like, what can it do…and Easy Video Player was no exception to this.

Lessons learned while playing with YouTube

Hey everyone,

An image showing a chalkboard with Back To School written on it - lessons to be learned

 

As I write this, it’s Sunday lunchtime and I’m sitting in bed with my laptop…I went to bed rather late last night as I was on a video creation mission, so I’m having a leisurely morning (to be fair, I see a cat nap in my future for the afternoon!).

 

Anyway, you may be wondering what my new video is about. I’ll get to that in a second.

 

First, I want to share something amazing that I saw a couple of days ago. It’s a bit self-indulgent but I’m feeling proud of myself so you’ll just have to humour me for a minute.

OMG The Posh Girl Speaks!

I wasn’t sure whether I’d ever do this…but I’ve recorded my first ever video tutorial! This has been my first time using Camtasia and also my first time recording myself doing anything on my laptop, so while I apologise if it’s a bit rough around the edges, please bear in mind it’s my first time!
