Welcome to my newest video – this time, I’ve donned the air hostess outfit, and am giving you a guided tour!

Oh, ok, so maybe I don’t have an air hostess outfit, but I am still giving you a tour – this video shows you behind the scenes of Easy Video Player 2, and goes through all of the general settings so that you can see all the various features that it offers.

As part of Barry’s Video Challenge, I have now created Part 3 of my Amazon S3 series.

In this post and video, I cover 3 different methods of distributing from your Amazon S3 account.

After all, it’s all well & good storing your data in there, but how do you get it back out again?!

This video explains that.

Incidentally, if you haven’t seen the first or second parts, they can be found here:

(as the URLs might suggest!).

Do you like a challenge as well?  

Then this could be for you.

Barry (at www.Barry-Wells.com) has come up with a Leap Year Video Challenge, and it’s something that I’m most certainly going to be partaking in.

You’ll have seen from my last post that I was having a bit of a ‘meh’ moment about what I’m doing (or more appropriately, not doing), and so this challenge has come along at the perfect time for me.

Oh, and did I mention he’s giving away prizes as well?!

So, my last post was all full of enthusiasm about my goals for 2012 and how I was going to get stuff done and my life would be structured and all would be well in the world…

But like all best laid plans, this has kind of gone to pot.

In my (somewhat limited) defence, this wasn’t helped by a throat infection and a course of antibiotics (started with a nice fever which left me in bed whimpering pathetically!). 

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!

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.

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/)

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.

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.

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.
