Ron Fredericks writes: “Introduction to Math Blogging ” is a short overview of the WordPress Math Publisher plugin. Get an overview of the plugin from this video. Some topics include:

  • What is it
  • How to install it
  • How to use it, and
  • Support and the software development release cycle

To create short flexible videos like this one, go to LectureMaker’s design and purchase page

Get a copy of the plugin from the WordPress.org Plugin site: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmathpub/

I include some comments on the WordPress developer ecosystem as a model to learn from and perhaps emulate:

  • Automation of the submission process for new plugins
  • Automation of the community metrics and satisfaction the use of individual plugins
  • Online engineering tools to help developers track milestones during the plugin’s lifecycle (ALM)
  • Use of forums for community support between developers and users of plugins

I encourage the viewer to consider that increased use of math is necessary in today’s competitive global economy. Using a blog with math publishing features is one way to support this effort.

Usage

As an example, when I embedded the wpmathpub [pmath size=xx] tag into my blog post — like this:

Code (mathtext)
  1. [pmath size=16](a^2+b^2)=a^2+2*a*b+b^2[/pmath]
  2.  
  3. Where:
  4. [pmath size=12]~a[/pmath] is defined as a
  5. [pmath size=12]~b[/pmath] is defined as b

I get the following mathematical equation displayed in my blog post:

(a^2+b^2)=a^2+2*a*b+b^2

where:
~a is defined as a
~b is defined as b

The video was designed, acted in, and edited by Ron Fredericks; while the video was produced and directed by Alex Gershowitz; in LectureMaker’s Sunnyvale Video Studio

I invite the viewer to pick up a copy of “Numerical Recipes” if they are using math equations in their blog posts:

Ron Fredericks writes: LectureMaker’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony coming up next week, so I thought it was high time to show my clients and prospects just what a person can do in a LectureMaker studio in under one hour.

The demo shows you how to build a light weight hard disk storage device for portable transport of 640 Gigabytes of digital data. Unlike most of the portable hard drive vendors – I show you exactly how to assemble, partition, and format the drive using Windows 7 or Vista. I will post a Mac version too if there is any interest.

This video uses some techniques I have created to demonstrate both hardware and software. This type of video is a case study for many of the Silicon Valley high-tech firms who need to quickly and accurately demonstrate their products to users, partners, sales teams, and tech support engineers to name just a few….

You can order the same parts I used during the demo if you would like to follow along and build this “640 Gigabyte Memory Stick”.

Largest and fastest disk that fits in a really small enclosure like Acomdata’s Tango box Red cable to match red box Acomdata enclosure: smallest I could find with both USB and eSATA interfaces

Its a digital recording of computer screen output, opten containing audio narration.

During a recent poll, I found very few  people were aware of  screencasting . Watch my online lecture on the subject to learn how to:

  • Express your ideas as a screencast on the web,
  • Embed them within documentation instead of screenshots mixed with tedious explanations, or
  • Use them as visual aids to enhance your next public lecture, as I have done here.

Introduction to Screencasting: Quicktime Video

During this 10 minute Quicktime video you will learn:

  • How to use screencasting as a fast and clear communication tool,
  • The value in working with your local Toastmasters club as a public lecture resource,
  • How to use the free and open source screencasting tool called Camstudio.

Lecture secrets: Two examples of Camstudio screencasting are included in this video. One example of a screencast captured using a video camera of an LCD monitor is used in this video.

This online lecture is a recording of my prepared speech presented to the Blue Cube Toastmasters club from the advanced manual Communicating on Television

For those who live near or travel to Sunnyvale, CA – you’re welcome to visit our Toastmasters club with regular meetings held at the LectureMaker LLC video studio conference room:
