Ok... So I am finally getting settled.
I admit I was a little nervous getting my own collective while only having a bronze star. But 10 days later and I am only one video away from a Gold Star, and I feel very much settled in here on the sift.
Thanks again to James and Brian for helping me get setup. For those who didn't know I was having technical trouble maintaining TayTV. I am a refugee from an old platform, here to share my videos, discuss ideas and most importantly meet similar people.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention... About the tutorial I created. This is nothing official from videosift, it's just something I whipped up because I have the resources to do so and I wanted to help out the new guys. If it seems lame and un-professional...I apologize. Let's agree that I owe you 7 minutes of your life back. (I am not yet the best screencast actor)
If any sift veterans have done a screencast tutorial I would also like to link to it. The more resources the merrier.
But I hope it helps people who read my blog get settled into the sift, it was part of a larger blog post about the new TayTV collective. (Just a warning before you click that link, the first video in there is again nothing official to videosift...especially the drug and alcohol abuse. (After going a full year of watching annoying youtube videos sometimes you have no choice but to mock them (and turn to drug and alcohol abuse). I've done a couple of these silly videos before resulting in equally sad results (My humblest apologies to all those who watch, I now owe you 9 minutes))).
It's a heavily competitive market of Time Wasters, Television has been the Time waster of choice for the masses as long as I have been alive. Statistics don't lie when they say people are abandoning their TV's for the Internet. That must mean my philosophy is spreading (right?). Videosift is a larger stage then what I had with my old blog. Larger stage more players.
Thanks again for your hearty welcome into your hearty community.
ps/ seriously folks, I am one published video away from that Gold Star, may I draw your attention to Jack Murray: Consumer Advocate.. Murray is a lovable character developed by Canadian Comedian Shaun Majumder... Watch Jack solve consumer complaints, always helping out the little guy.
cheers

But do not look down on him. For there are many amongst us stricken so too, some innocent like this one others taking dark paths, scholars summing them up ominously as 'personal issues'.
Click on and be wary for what you have learned here.
Also grats on the gold fedquip.
Thanks James, however I think the tutorial might have actually scared people away rather then drawing them in.
Congrats on the Gold Fedquip! Great to have you here.
