Use Camtasia Studio 4 for your demonstrations

by

I found some software that looks very promising for a project that I’m thinking of starting. The software is called “Camtasia Studio” and it can be used to create interactive video tutorials, and if used perhaps for a business you might use it to create training videos or illustrations, software demos and presentations.

When using Camtasia Studio 4 you can create projects with full-motion recording capability that records the screen, webcam video and voice. Plus, you can also produce professional-quality video presentations with small file sizes to post on the Internet, burn on CD-ROM, or deliver any way you choose in all the popular file formats.

The most popular uses of Camtasia Studio 4 software are to create online training tutorials, software demos, record a lecture on line or on CD-Rom, record powerpoint presentations, create short videos demonstrations and more.

I could actually see myself using the Camtasia Studio 4 software for projects on this blog such as create time lapsed videos of flowers or plants growing from seedlings to maturity and blooming or fruiting. Wouldn’t that be cool?






The Pink Fridge

by

Have you heard of The Pink Fridge? It’s an online magazine for UK women. Yes, I know, I’m in Canada – why am I writing about an online magazine in the UK? Well, I know that many of my readers are from the UK and from Countries all over the world. This is most definitely a global site, and I thought my UK readers might be interested in hearing about the Online Magazine.

Just like a print magazine there are a number of sections of interest to browse through.

There is a Love and Life section and it’s filled with articles such as being your own boss and working at home, a supermarket dating guide, an article suggesting that women should pay lower insurance rates because we are better drivers, general advice and many more topics from marriage to personal finance. The Health and Beauty section has quite a number of current articles as well, ranging from an article discussing skin types to a weight loss guide.

The popularity of Manolo Blahniks are discussed in an article in the clothing section, which is a sub-directory of the shopping section. I expected to find listings of online stores or discussions about the UK’s fashionable shops in this section but to my surprise I found articles about fashion trends, clothing, Jewelery, perfume, and a well written article that discussed the history of Champagne and it’s uses today.

I quite enjoyed the Travel section, reading about the city of Prague, golfing in Scotland and beach holidays on the Mediterranean. I was drooling as I read about Cyprus. It sounded so wonderful.

Try as I might I was unable to find any information regarding the name of the online magazine. Perhaps the Pink Fridge refers to something unique to the UK that as a North American I’m ignorant of, but I was curious as to how the name of the magazine came about and wished I could have found some information about the name.

I was quite pleased to find that all of the articles were well written and held my attention. I think this Online Magazine could easily have a broader focus since many of the topics are of interest to women all over the world. The only suggestion that I would make for the site owner would be perhaps to make the font ever so slightly larger in order to make it a little easier to read the articles.

I think my site visitors would find The Pink Fridge to be an interesting site and I do hope that a few of you will visit and decide for yourself if you enjoy the articles or not. I stand by what I’ve written and think that The Pink Fridge could very well develop into a popular online magazine over time.
