Hi Lee
I am glad you liked the suggestion, but I thought you might be too busy to be able to put into practice.
How to organise, this depends on how your readers have organised previous tutorial downloads, which is not going to be the same for all.
I personally categorise my DNN Creative tutorial downloads in chronological issue number, so that I know which are the more recent. Within each folder I have folders corresponding to the tutorial topic, within each tutorial folder I have sequential video folders video 1, video 2 etc. I try also to add the video title next to the number. I have recently started to include a text file within each folder to let me know the contents at a glance, which consequently saves trawling through hours of videos to find a particular section. However I have many tutorial video folders without, so I have to take responsibility for my own disorganisation for omitting many text files within folders. I had not realised when I first started collecting your tutorials that I would acquire so many.
I see you organise your tutorials page in sections, Beginners Admin etc. and topic (but not the associated issue #) when I click on a link of interest e.g. DotNetuke Site logs, Event logs, and Scheduler, I am taken to the corresponding tutorial (issue # not displayed). However, unless I can recall the issue number it relates to which I have previously downloaded I need to rely on included text files in my folders or guess the related issue, or if in a hurry I have re downloaded it.
Your suggestion of a PDF file is excellent, I think organise by topic (with issue # named), but in order that the viewer knows which video belongs to which issue:
My first suggestion would be to include the associated related issue number on all tutorial pages and if not too much trouble to also include the issue number next to the title on your tutorial page.
Or my second suggestion would be to include a text file in with each video.
Phew, don't forget to come up for air.
Thanks
Lynn
