    Hi Karen,
    I do like that feature of Wordpress 2.8 – cool video. Do you use Camtasia? I just did my first video using Jing but may invest in Camtasia. Check out my video and let me know what you think.
    Karen, one more quick question I understand that 2.8.1 is in beta. Is it really necessary to upgrade everytime. There seem to be too many upogrades close together

    Hi Luca,

    Thanks for the comment and your input. I really appreciate it. I’m not currently using Camtasia. I used the free CamStudio for the screen capture tool and audio recording because I like it’s simplicity, then I import the .avi it into MAGIX Movie Edit Pro for editing and export again into a new raw .avi. Finally I use Pazero Video to Flash Converter (freeware) to create the Flash video from the raw .avi to upload to YouTube. I will eventually buy Camtasia because I used it during the trial and it really is the best.

    Re WordPress upgrade, I would not bother to upgrade to the Beta, wait until the actual release of 2.8.1 and then upgrade to that one. I always upgrade versions fairly quickly because along with fixing bugs, and making improvements, there are always security fixes that, imho, are very important to have.

    It is sometimes annoying if a plugin author doesn’t keep up with the WordPress upgrades, but I find that generally plugin authors are pretty good at releasing upgrades, and if not you can always replace the plugin that no longer works with something newer and better.

    I will hop on over to see your video and post my comments. Take care.
