CushyCMS - Instruction Videos for Users

CushyCMS Tutorial VideosThis post has been written specifically for users of CushyCMS, guiding them through the most common tasks such as logging in, updating text, adding images and creating links.

If you're a web designer that uses CushyCMS, you're very welcome to guide your users to this article or use the YouTube videos on your blog. All 'link love' is greatly appreciated!

How to Use CushyCMS

If you're new to CushyCMS, then I recommend that you watch all videos in order before even logging in. That way you'll have a good appreciation of what to expect before you start. If having watched the videos you have any uncertainty in your mind, then contact your web designer for help before you begin. This is perfectly reasonable as you'll be editing your live website - not something that you want to get wrong!

Once you've watched all the videos, then you can always come back for a little refresher on any specific tasks as and when you need to.

All videos are best viewed at full screen with sound turned on.

This video briefly mentions that images uploaded should be of an appropriate format and size. This is a huge topic which cannot be done justice in a few words here. You might like to search the internet for 'optimize images for web' or try this free web resizer.

This video briefly mentions saving your files in PDF format so that they can easily be opened on other computers. I use CutePDF Writer (free) for this.

I just want to say a big thank you for making these videos available online! I'm putting together some documentation at the moment for one of my clients and also putting in links to these videos which will make things much clearer.
