I worked extra hard today and completed the
remainder of the PlusKit screencasts. There are a
total of 8 video tutorials and they are all
available to RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers.
So what’s next? Well, I have some ideas that I’ll
be tossing around and I expect that some new
tutorials will start appearing late this week or
early next week. There’s much more to cover!

I’ve added two more PlusKit tutorials to the
subscribers’ area today. One covers the Backups
feature of PlusKit, allowing you to create
incremental backups of your project as you save
and make changes. The other is a big one, and
probably the most popular feature of PlusKit --
importing pages. If you’re not sure that PlusKit
is for you, make sure and check out the Importing
Pages screencast!
The remainder of the PlusKit screencasts will be
made available early next week. Everyone have a
great weekend!

PlusKit screencasts are now in production and the
first two have been made available online to
RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers. These first
video tutorials cover the Lightbox and Fancy Zoom
features of PlusKit, which provide a very cool
way of displaying full-size images -- perfect for
a website photo gallery. These can be added with
some advanced coding with javascript, but PlusKit
makes it simple to add this effect to any or all
of website’s images.
The full curriculum for PlusKit has been added to
the website, and the rest of these screencasts
will be appearing tomorrow and early next week.
Of course I will post another update here as soon
as more tutorials are online!

RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers can expect the
next round of plugin tutorials to be made
available soon. The next plugin to be covered is
PlusKit from
Loghound. PlusKit is a
very useful and powerful plugin, and I’ll
make sure that you learn how to use it!
Watch for these tutorials in the coming
days...

I have released some
free RapidWeaver video
tutorials for visitors to view without a
subscription to RapidWeaver Classroom. Now
that the
video training
library has been built-up with over 10
hours of video tutorials, I felt it was time
to share some of the resources with the
entire RapidWeaver community. These free
tutorials can be found linked throughout the
Curriculum page, and
as more tutorials are produced I will make
more of these screencasts available for
free.
These free RapidWeaver video tutorials are
streamed using the Viddler service and are at a
lower resolution than the video tutorials
available to RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers,
so subscribers will want to login to the site and
view the high-resolution versions in the
subscribers’ area.

All of the Blocks plugin tutorials are now
complete and available to RapidWeaver Classroom
subscribers. There are a total of nine tutorials
detailing all the features of Blocks. It is an
outstanding plugin and I encourage all
subscribers to go through these to see the
potential of what can be achieved with Blocks.
More 3rd-party plugins will be produced soon and
an announcement will be made in the coming days
on what the next plugin will be. As always, check
back often for updated information.

There’s a new section of the website online
dedicated to
showcasing the
RapidWeaver websites that Classroom
students have created. The Student Projects
section will display images of these
websites along with links to them.
Submission of these websites has just become
available and RapidWeaver Classroom students
can submit them through the Submit Your Site
link in the Student Control Panel.
All RapidWeaver Classroom students are encouraged
to submit their website. The only requirements
for inclusion on the Student Projects page is
that the submission is from a RapidWeaver
Classroom student and that the content of the
website is not explicit in any way.
I look forward to seeing and displaying the work
that students have created, so submit your sites!

Three more
Blocks plugin
tutorials have been made available to
RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers. These
tutorials cover some of the different types
of blocks that can be added with the plugin.
The goal was to have all Blocks tutorials
complete by the end of the week, but I didn’t
take into account that Friday is July 4th
(Independence Day), so I will try and have as
many as possible available by the end of tomorrow
-- it may not be all of them, but it should come
close!

RapidWeaver Classroom’s coverage of 3rd-party
plugins begins with the Blocks plugin from
YourHead Software, and
the first video tutorials for Blocks are now
available to subscribers. There are three
tutorials to get you started, and the
remainder will be released by the end of
this week. For those of you who have not
used the Blocks plugin, you’ll quickly see
why it is a favorite amongst the RapidWeaver
community!
