I luckily just came across a decent screen capturing program, that was free! It is called wink, and is great for whenever I want to take a capture of my screen, or a video. This program works great for what I use it for. I would provide an example video but, I can't. The computer it is on is down, and I did not want to download it again.
From the same company also comes WAX 2.0, which is also free. It is one of the best free video editing program that I have ever seen. I had it for a while, which I liked, though I never used it. People have created tons and tons (and tons) of video tutorials for this program. The majority being the videos with little faces on their thumbs. So go check those out if they interest you. I'll even take the time to type it in for you. Here you go. Have fun! :)

Yuwie
Yuwie
Well I found out about Yuwie today. It's social networking website that pays you to use it. No, i'm not joking. It's very simple to use, it includes a blog (yay), pictures and custimizable templates. The way it works is that they're advertisements are your income. They more money they make off the advertisements the more they can pay you.
The catch is you don't make a set percentage of that, instead your paid for pageviews. What's a pageveiw? A pageview is when someone views your page or when you update your blog. Sound easy enough for you? The link is right.... down there.
Well I might as well tell you the truth about that link so you at least know what your doing when you click it. That's my referal program, when you click I get another ten percent of what you make. I don't get 10% of your money though, if you were wondering. If you don't click that link to sign up to Yuwie, the money goes to some guy (or girl) who's already taking 30% to 40% of what you make (which is from the advertisers, also it is your money or money that you would make if you went straight to the advertisers). So it comes down to would you rather it go to me or to someone that sits behind their desk all day making tons of money.
*Just a note, I am still working on the basic html series it's just the next article is really long.*

Basic HTML #1
Well this is a quick guide for HTML. Which stands for hypertext mark-up language. It's an internet language for displaying, well pretty much anything. You can use tables to reshape your layouts or display gifs (animated pictures). It's very useful, some html is used for my blog but not much. So let's start with the ability to write, not as easy as you think. Open frontpage or whatever editor you have. Then select the view code or html tab at the bottom. Now you should see this if you use frontpage.
As you can see everyting is between tags like <HTML> and </HTML>. The difference between these body tags is that one is the start tag and ones the end tag. It's important to put the slash"/" because that tells the competer it's then end tag. If the slash isn't there the content in between the two tags won't work. Notice that the two "body" tags end in between the "html" tags. That's the way it works. Think about in a parent child sort of way. Now to write something to the screen put.
That code will do this when you preview it: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah
The two "p" tags tell it to put this text to the screen. There are tons of other ways to do this also but I don't want to get into that, it would take to long. Now a really cool tag you can use is "marquee". It scrolls the text across the screen which looks pretty cool. Usefull for banners and other things like that.

To change the color put <font color="0000FF">Word</font> right in between the "p" tags. Your result is right above, in the word color. So the whole thing would look like......
| <body> <p><font color="0000FF">Hello World</font></p> </body> |
Not to hard is it? Keep in mind that the border surronding it is a table. Not actually part of what YOU wrote. So I'll teach you about them in part two. That's all for now.

Fire in Paint.NET
This is how to create fire with Paint.Net
First open a new document and create a new gradient like this
Then add a new layer and set it's blending mode to overlay(double click on layer for layer properties). Then add the effect "clouds" to this new layer. Repeat the process(Ctrl+f) until you think it has a good shape.
Now flatten the image. Then under the adjustments window select "curves". This is a bit tricky, select RGB in the drop-down-menu. After that tick off only the blue box at the bottom and move it to the right. Then the green and move it between the red and blue. They should look like this.
Anyway once that's done you've got one good looking flame effect.

Paint.Net
This is more of a post than a tutorial. I just found out aboout paint.NET a paint program, and think it's great. It has tons of support and easy to use interface, plus tons of downloadable add-ons. It's quick and fun to use.
Advantages: Good for Second Life Textures, good support and add-ons, it's an alternitive to photoshop.
Disadvantages: Only for windows :(
Here is a screen shot of the interface.
Just usualy not so squished.
My rating is 9.0 out of 10.0
You can get it here. Scroll down to bottom of the page.
