Many thanks for posting the link Bob, I hope others find the background material on screencasting to be helpful.
I also ought to have mentioned – because I like to promote the use of screencasts I’m always happy to review the work of others and offer a helpful (private) critique. Anyone can email me for advice/feedback.
Cheers,
Ian.
