Weekend Homework Assignment

by BSD on May 9, 2008 1:52 PM EDT in Fun Stuff

Ok folks. Time to take off the bow and take this new bike for a ride. We're going to start out by building a video inventory right here on BSD. And you are going to do the work. Here is what you're going to do. (HT: Burnt Orange Nation )

1) Go here and stick the Fanshot button on your browser.

2) Go to YouTube and find a Penn State highlight you love.

3) Use your Fanshot widget to send it to BSD.

4) Make sure you tag the Fanshot with 'video' and 'psu highlights', along with other relevant descriptors.

And that's it. Instant vault of Penn State highlights, sortable by tag.

Got it

You set the timezone you’re in and the timestamp customizes to your settings.

Go to your user page and click “Edit Settings”. There at the top of the page you will see a dropdown box with the time zones in it. Select your timezone. The default is PDT b/c that’s where the SBN designers are located.

My weekend homework (D-)

Mike,
I tried to post a favorite video and didn’t do so well. I’ll have my high school aged son take a shot at it and fix it up later! I was trying to post the utube video of the flyby at the 06 Northwestern game. I like the look and options of the new webpage and will continue to be a daily reader, I’ll just have to get a little smarter before I can make a contribution!!

thanks, Mike S

Don't feel bad sir

I posted my video on the Georgia Bulldog website, wondering why it wasn’t appearing on BSD…oops! Thankfully SBN gives you the option of removing your Fanshot.

Use the bookmarklet

If you can figure it out. It’s a very handy tool to post things quickly which was part of the reason for this excercise.

New & Improved.

Good Luck on the New & Improved site. Got in late last night from State College after moving my son out of Beaver Hall yesterday. How is it that students end up with far more crap than when they arrived in August?
