Hi Ted, John

Hi Ted, John

Seems there was the same problem with the March 28th event as there was with the March 21st event- see attached.

The only difference was that this time I never found a good link on either of the two Facebook pages or in the Google Community

I'm going wait until I get the free upgrade to WJStudio before trying to play with WJ again.

A quick tutorial on how to enable a standard lower third and how to upload a custom lower third. I'll show you how to work with the toolbox inside a Google Hangout. I have lots of new friends here at G+ and as the magazine cover used to say "Inquiring minds want to know!!"

Whether you have been here for awhile or are brand new it is always good to be prepared before you begin a hangout. My screen share didnt load right for whatever reason and I have too much integrity to just put something out there and say "Oh Well."

So I am rebroadcasting this Hangout with the proper visual aids

I hope you learn something from it. I know I did lol

Autoplay is Now the Default on YouTube - and That's OK http://rseo.co/19nkUBt
YouTube has made autoplay the default option for desktop users of the site, and of course it's a way of boosting views in the face of such overwhelming competition from Facebook, and now Twitter. You can disable the feature, but we think it's a good thing for YouTube, creators and viewers.

The problem for historians (incl. family history, micro-history, and genealogy in general) is that the "things" in the Internet-of-Things may no longer exist. This applies to people (obviously) but also to places, groups, and the relationships between all of  these. I have yet to see a computer taxonomy of such things that can be used for historical data without bending it to meet modern nomenclature and definitions.

I do hope that the building of IoT will, one day, talk to groups such as FHISO (http://fhiso.org) about what is needed in this field.
