Illustrate 1 Blog Post in 2 Minutes (Microcast)

There's nothing like an illustration to make your blog posting more interesting. With only PowerPoint, a screen capture program and two minutes, you can add interest to your posts in a flash.  60sec To see a demonstration on how I quickly add images to my own blog, watch this 3-minute Flash movie here.

(There seem to be problems viewing these Flash files on a Mac - I'm working on resolving the issue - hopefully I'll have a fix by next week.)

Cliff,

The flash presentation is excellent. Once again I think you have made the conversation smarter. Great tool to expand on your blog..

Love it.

I'm using a Mac and had a problem viewing your page in Safari. When I looked at the error Safari was reporting, I found that the Flash file was referenced as follows:
"http://www.sociablemedia.com/flash/60seconds_media\60seconds.swf"
Note the '\' where there should be '/'. Once I saw that I was able to access your SWF directly at "http://www.sociablemedia.com/flash/60seconds_media/60seconds.swf". It played with no difficulty on my Mac.
It seems your problem is in the SRC URL for the SWF rather than in the SWF itself.

I also had problems playing back within Firefox on Win98. Works fine on IE.

Thanks for the comments. Is the Flash file viewable on a Mac if you click directly here?

Yes, the link below works for Safari and IE on Mac:
