Blogger Tutorials

Tutorials are great only if they work.  I have critique the following tutorial videos on creating Blogs using Blogger.

1.      http://www.metacafe.com/watch/704787/how_to_create_a_blog_with_blogger/

·         Pro: This particular tutorial was great with the information.  This particular tutorial starts from the basics.  If you do not know how to create your gmail account, then it also provides you with that infomation as well.

·         Con: The video quality was not great at all so; therefore, it took away from the entire tutorial because you could not see what the problem was.

2.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSs3XXSCuoE

·         Pro: This particular tutorial was great with the information.  This particular tutorial starts from the basics.  If you do not know how to create your gmail account, then it will not provide you with that information.  Also, this tutorial allowed you to go step-by step and you could pause it to make sure that you were on the same page as the person that was on the video.

·         Con: The video quality was great; however, the person who was speaking on the tutorial was foreign and you could not understand what he was saying at times.  This took away from the entire tutorial because you could not make out what he was saying.
