The Official Trimcraft Blog

I just added a new video to the Trimcraft video library, and wrote about this in my blog. This just got me thinking - wouldn't it be cool if we could all post Youtube videos in our blog!!

I'm always stumbling across great videos which i'll e-mail to my friends, and it'd be great to stick them in my blog too

So, you'll notice now that on the top of the area where you'd normally write a blog post that there's an extra button that says 'youtube'.

Click on that and it'll automatically add a youtube tag to your post, within which you simply paste in the link to the youtube page.

Simple!

Here's an example

Code: Select all

Just in case you've not seen it yet, i've just added a brand new video to the video section of the website:

Folds and Pockets



Let us know what you think, leave a comment by visiting the video page

Go to the pockets and folds video page

I've just had a reschuffle of the Trimcraft home page (www.trimcraft.co.uk) and now, any time you add a new entry into your own blog - your blog will appear on the front page of Trimcraft!

How's that for great advertising for your own page

Just another great reason to have your blog with Trimcraft

Guide to blogging!

Quick reminder - all blogs won't get read as often by Trimcraft staff, so if you have any questions - always post them in the forums as normal. As a general rule of thumb
use the forum for chatting, and your blog to publish stuff you might want people to know

First things first, let's name your blog

Before you start blogging, name you're blog. Mine's called (rather boringly) 'The Official Trimcraft Blog'.

To change your blogs name (the name of your blog will appear at the top of your blog page) simply go to your user control panel and click on the 'Blog' tab. Or for the
lost/lazy/confused - simply click here ucp.php?i=201

Your personal preferences...

A very warm welcome fellow Trimcrafters to the wonderful world of blogging! That's right, Trimcrafts brand new feature is the ability to blog! The best part, it's FREE!!

It's really easy to use, if you've lurked around our forums you'll instantly familiarise yourself with the layout and how to post new entries to your blog and how to make comments etc.

Now there is really no reason why all of you shouldn't be able to have your very own blog - in fact, you all DO have a blog set up already

You can access your blog page by accessing:

www.trimcraft.co.uk/blog/username

So for example, mine would be: www.trimcraft.co.uk/blog/admin...
