As you can see from the screenshot below they’ve also been given a very prominent position, listed third in the list of sixteen help and support subject areas.  Personally I’m delighted with what Microsoft have done to showcase them.  Microsoft do occasionally showcase help and support content from MVPs but this will be the first video content on the Microsoft help and support site.  I will also in the future be providing more content for the site covering products including Windows 7, Windows 8 and Microsoft Office.

Screenshot only, no playable video in this image

You may also remember that a little while ago Microsoft Press released for free on YouTube a series of videos I had made accompany their Windows 7 and Word 2010 Step by Step books.  The videos are full tutorials to the products and run to more than 10 hours.  I can also announce that discussions are in an advanced stage for Microsoft to also host these videos on their support website.  IN addition to these I also made tutorial video series for PowerPoint 2010 and HTML5.  I can certainly see the latter being popular, while any tutorials that can help teach people how not to bore their co-workers to death with PowerPoint has got to be welcomed  :)

In other news!  I can also now announce that my next eBook will be released by US publisher Fair Trade Digital Exchange (FTDX) in November (if I ever finish writing it!).  Need2Know Office 365 Security for Small Business will look at all aspects of running a safe and secure business environment using Microsoft’s new cloud-based server and productivity package.  As well as looking at Office 365 itself, the book will also look holistically at every aspect of your business computing security from your domain hosting and broadband connection, to your storage solutions, PCs, laptops and smartphones and also your attitudes to mobile working and workers using their own IT hardware.

Finally the big announcement!  As if all this wasn’t enough for one day there is one final announcement, but I can’t officially say anything for another month or so.  All I can officially do is make a statement and show you a picture.  Though it shouldn’t be at all difficult to piece together the clues.

The statement… “I will definitely NOT be writing a Windows 8 Power Users Guide as a follow on to my similar guide to Windows 7”
And the image…

…have you guessed yet?  ;)

I created a list of things that would help me and my site tremendously. The easiest one takes about 10 seconds and no time thereafter, the most time consuming no more than a few minutes.

Please note that this is not a “you have to” type of contribution call, everything is completely voluntary. Let us start with the list:

• Comment: Writing a comment helps my site and other users who read the article. You can post questions, additions, your own experience or anything else that is related to the topic.
• Turn off Adblockers: Turning off the adblocker for Ghacks helps me generate revenue. Each visit pays so to speak. Even if you do not click on the ads it helps me pay my bills.
• Contribute: Send me tips, links and other news that might make a good story. You can reach me on Twitter and through the contact form on top.
• Spread: Spread the news to Social Websites like Digg, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious and all the others.
• Tell a friend: Telling friends about my site is one of the best ways for receiving new regular visitors.
• Links: If you run a website you might want to consider putting up a link to Ghacks. The best way to link to my site is to link directly to interesting articles using the title as the anchor.

Did I miss something? Got more ideas? Let me know! And thanks a lot in advance.

I´am babbling, forgive me. I found a comprehensive Linux guide which gives you a good understanding of the linux operating system. The guide visualizes everything with screenshots and code tags to assist new users even more. If you ever thought of switching this guide might be just what you´ve been waiting for.
