Testing Screencastify for making "ipernity howto" videos

The subject is "How to customize your homepage". First the basics:

1) Go to "Content of your home page" settings.

2) Use green plus to add block(s).

3) Grab on the block header to change it's place. Over the block header, press the mouse cursor down, keep it pressed, and then start moving the block. Then release the mouse cursor to leave the block where you want it.

4) Do not forget to SAVE!

Do notice the default "Latest photos and videos posted" block is fixed. It's place can be changed, but it can't be removed. It also turns from large images to small ones when it is not the only block on the homepage.

Details of the video

This video was created with Screencastify. It is probably available as a Chrome browser extension only. It is free to use up to 5 minute videos.

On Screencastify there are tools to share and download videos in multiple ways. I converted the video onto mp4 format, downloaded it, and then uploaded it here at ipernity. This short video takes 9 megabytes space at the server. If you are planning to do similar videos, then be prepared for uploads that can take a lot of time, and keep the videos short to save your personal space at ipernity.

And if you do "ipernity howto" instructions by yourself, then please use the "ipernity howto" keyword.

Klasse Idee, Howtos auch als Video zu machen. Ich werde mal überlegen, bei welchem meiner Howtos das ergänzend hilfreich sein könnte. :)

I have big plans for this. Only lacking time to implement the plans.

But few tips in case you have ;-)

Do notice the pause button on Screencastify. So, you can pause the recording, and for example open some slideshow of your's to for example give some written instructions displayed in the middle of the video.

Then another idea it to writing a longer blog article with multiple videos. So, instead of trying to include the whole howto on one video, present it on steps. For a viewer it is can be easier to learn something in short steps.
