[note: some of these videos are out of date because of changes to Ning and Facebook]
The following videos have been developed for use in Talk About Local training sessions. Although there are loads of brilliant how-to videos out there which we often use, we thought there was still a need for very simple videos that people could refer to as they got started on their hyperlocal sites. They take you through the development of my model site, Mythical City.
Hopefully they are easy to follow with a bit of hands-on help if people get stuck. It would be great to get your feedback on any ways these videos can be improved as you use them and any requests for further tutorials. The full series is here.

I thought this video was very informative. Please do a video on ning broadcast message via links. I have spent hours trying to do this. Hugh in Haringay has emailed me through but I still don’t get. I want a link that shows a blog title which you can click on to get to the blog. Thanks Annette
Hello Annette, have you tried following the video on links here? http://talkaboutlocal.org.uk/videos-for-beginners-create-links-and-maps/
I haven’t had the chance to test it yet, but it did cross my mind that Ning might not let you send a hyperlink in a broadcast message, in case you were up to no good. That might be why you’ve tried it but it hasn’t worked. Can anyone check this?
