I think we need to start taking screenshots

Posted by ChefTD on Sep 17, 2004

I’ve been thinking that we should be taking screenshots of the orting.com website as we build it so that we can refer to these images before and after each show. Also, this will show a visual slideshow of how the site evolves each week based on our Friday live reality how-to radio show

Next Friday (9/24/04) I’m going to add to the list to review with Jowl how to take screenshots and then add them to this blog.


Jowl breaks down

Posted by Jowlstar on Sep 17, 2004

ChefTD let Jowl break down for the first time. Jowl had no idea what he was doing. Jowl was kind off frustrated but towards the end he felt that chefTD thought that he was getting it. Well other then that it was a good show and Jowl learned how to successfully put the logo he and chefTD made on orting.com.

Show Summary:

ChefTD plays a trick on Jowl at the start of the show by giving him show #6 intro material to read. Jowl learns how to create a logo using the logo creator program from Summit Soft ($19.99 at Best Buy). Jowl has problems remembering how to create the code for adding an IMaGe to a web document. ChefTD explains why it is important to learn the underlying code and not just cut and paste code. ChefTD and Jowl discuss the “detoriation factor” returning to the fact that it is important to use the skills or they will be forgotten. Jowl has breakdown moment for the first time in the history of the show which he writes about later here. He challenges Jowl to be able to add the image code to a page and then FTP to “Atlanta” server within 1 minute.
