I’ve just recorded a short video on the new YouTube Annotations feature…
Now, the thing I didn’t test before putting it all together is if it would work when you embed the video on a blog etc… Well the result is a big fat NO.

A weekend or so back, I attended the WordCamp Melbourne 07 event.
It was all about the blogging platform Wordpress, which is what this site/blog is built on. Now, I am not a coder by any means so a lot of the content went well over my head, but one particular presentation by ProBlogger Darren Rowse was right up my alley - Making Money With Wordpress.
Alister’s presentation was again, a little over my head, but his passion and goal to evangelise the sandbox theme for wordpress is very captivating.
