Our first 2 screencasts are up

Firstly, a big welcome to our new users.

This is just a quick note to let you know that our first 2 screencasts are finished and available on gasexchange now. You can find them at gasexchange.com/screencasts.

The first screencast is an introduction to gasexchange. In this screencast we cover the basics of gasexchange including how to navigate the site, and the basics of reputation and tags. It's essential viewing for any new visitors to gasexchange!

The second screencast is arguably the more important. Here we show you how to register and create an account on gasexchange. Our system for doing this is a bit different to the usual website registration and that's why we've devoted an entire screencast to it. We use a system called OpenID. This gives you a generic login that you can use securely on thousands of websites all over the internet. If you already have an account with one of the big online email providers (like gmail or yahoo, but not hotmail) then you already have an OpenID that you can use on gasexchange. If you don't then don't worry, we show you how to get your own OpenID in this screencast.

If this all seems too complicated then don't worry. In the near future we plan on expanding our login system so you can create an account within gasexchange without using OpenID.

Anyway, there's much more information in the screencasts so I suggest you stop reading this and start watching our screencasts straight away!
