First Vlog Post (not really)

I was planning on doing a virtual tour this time to show off my new Logitech webcam.

So on Saturday I got my list of new Free tools and opened up all the pages I was planning to show you in Firefox. I combed my hair, set up the camera and…

My wife called me to tell me we are late to go to the beach. So I had to shut down my computer and take the family to the beach. Actually it was nice and relaxing, but that meant I wasn’t going to be able to play till Sunday night or Monday.

We got back a bit late on Sunday so I decided to go to bed and do it on Monday. Yesterday after work I got home set up the camera, pages, Camtasia, etc., and I did the virtual tour. FINALY!

BUT. . . and there is always a but. The video from the webcam came out quite choppy, so I did it again only with audio, but for some reason the slides don’t show up.

I tried for the last time this morning, and guess what? No audio.

So I have definitely decided to practice more on how to put together the whole virtual tour idea and I’ll just give you the links.

The services are great and FREE so I encourage you to try them out, I’m sure you’ll like them.
