How the world sees my video tutorials. A behind-the-scenes glimpse at the step-by-steps:

YouTube

  • After vidtut is rendered to .MP4, upload it to YT.
  • Fill out Video Upload form thusly:
    • Title = "Second Life TuTORial - " or "SL TuTORial - " (if tip title is too long), followed by tip title.
    • Description = Some minimalist variant pointing to http://torley.com
    • Video Category = Howto & Style
    • Tags = second life secondlife tips tricks school tutorial knowledge base learn education teach online world tech community love (in the future, I may want to vary these further).
  • Click "Upload a video" then select the .MP4 and upload it. Video usually goes live several minutes later.

Blog

  • Open up template, craft blog post in Windows Live Writer, and set it to publish in the future on Thursday (when Tip of the Weeks tend to show up).
  • Include supplemental pictures, word explanations, and other relevant content addendum that didn't make it into the video. Related resources links always a plus.
  • Test pre-published link to assure quality.

Showcase

  • Log into blog-like tool.
  • Copy-and-paste earlier blog posting into this, and publish it. NOTE: This tool can't publish in advance yet, so this is done nearer to the time or shortly after the aforementioned blog post appears.
  • Check for any significant content inconsistencies, most notably that embedded videos don't work, so I'll need to replace them with links like this:
