Trying out Wordpress

I have always leaned towards Joomla, but I have been hearing great things about Wordpress so I decided to try it out... First impressions - very intuitive, lots of available plugins, easy to install. - noticed right off the top that it is not very secure - if you want to make the site somewhat private it requires some work... First I added the "Private WordPress" plugin. This assisted in making sure that only authenticated users have access. Next I added options to use SSL... WordPress HTTPS The next step was to allow content sent to the server that is greater than 54M using Add From Server So far so good. Time to deploy - under an hour. A.

If you are running XP and Internet Explorer, expect connections to secure web sites to be difficult.

Update on Linux Screencast

I have discovered Kazam Screencaster which works wonders and does not have the limitations of recordMyDesktop.

Screencast for Linux

My present favourite program I like to use is Open-Sankore, which attempts to be a blend between powerpoint, and interactive whiteboard software as well as a web browser/presenter, among other nice features. It isn't the most stable software to date, but it is definitely useful. The windows version has a podcast recording aspect that is helpful (with some limitations that occasionally has me going back to camstudio - another nice free project) but the linux version does not include any screencast.

To solve this problem I found recordMyDesktop

This does a really nice job even on a slower machine, except the recordings use the OGG format providing a video with an .ogv
