Bring the Power of ScreenSteps Live to your WordPress Blog
Do you want to bring the power of ScreenSteps Live to your WordPress blog? You are probably asking yourself “What is the power of ScreenSteps Live and why would I want it in my blog?” The ScreenSteps Live WordPress plugin lets you manage all of your tutorial content on ScreenSteps Live, but deliver it via your WordPress blog.
We have prepared a short video that will show you why you would want to use ScreenSteps Live in conjunction with your WordPress blog and how the plugin works.
There are two scenarios where you would want to use the ScreenSteps Live WordPress plugin:
If you want to offer a manual composed of ScreenSteps lessons on your blog AND you want to be able to update and add to it regularly. With the plugin you can manage all of your lessons/manuals on ScreenSteps Live and the changes will instantly show up on your blog.
You want your manuals to show up on multiple WordPress blogs. You want to be able to update the manual once and have those updates show up on all of the blogs. This can be especially useful if you are supporting multiple WordPress blogs and want to provide tutorials on how to use WordPress to each of your clients.
Download the plugin and try it out. It comes pre-configured with an example ScreenSteps Live account so that you can see how the plugin will work inside your blog right away.
We also have a complete manual that will show you everything you need to do to get the ScreenSteps Live WordPress plugin up and running.

I’m getting more and more convinced ScreenSteps Life could be the tool to invest in next. Am just not ready with my project yet.
But…. any chance of doing what you’ve done for WordPress for Typepad blogs too?

Karen – we haven’t looked at the plugin architecture of TypePad yet. If there is enough interest and if it is the type of thing that TypePad’s api’s would allow then we could definitely look at it.

@Karin I’ve done a little searching for info on extending TypePad. I found some information about Widgets but Widgets only let you add content to a sidebar. From the looks of it I don’t think TypePad has a plugin architecture that would allow us to integrate ScreenSteps Live content into your blog in the same way that we can with WordPress.

Hi Trevor
Thanks for checking. I’ll just keep – when needed – loading the lessons from ScreenStep into typepad blogs. Works quite well I must say, with a little bit of editing the lay-out.
Eager to try out ScreenSteps Live – next project ;-)
