How have I not seen this before? A friend showed me Jing a few days ago, and I’m in love with it. It’s a software program for Windows or Mac that makes it very easy to capture screenshots or video clips and share them.
I had seen Skitch a few weeks ago, and thought it looked awesome. The problem with it is that it’s Mac-only. A Windows version is “coming soon”, but not here yet. In addition, Skitch only does image capture, while Jing does both images and videos.
To explain how easy Jing is, I’m going to do the following:
Pull up ESPN
Grab a screenshot
Add some arrows pointing to interesting items
Annotate it a bit
Post a link to the final, uploaded image
Time the whole process.
Here we go…
Done! 32 seconds.

It’ll be interesting to see how well it works. I have a couple of very large feeds (not this site - ha!), so I’m anxious to ...

This isn’t a new plug-in, but it’s new to me and I love it!
I recently converted one of my sites from a custom CMS to WordPress mu. I manually 301 redirected some of the popular pages, but decided to let the rest of them die off. However, I just installed the Redirection plug-in and I’m cleaning it up like magic!
It automatically logs 404 errors on the site, then lets you turn that 404 into a 301 redirect with a single click. I point the 404 to the comparable pa...
