Hey guys, Garrett here. Thank you to everyone who watched and rated my video on Youtube, A Bone to Pick with eBusiness.
It won 2nd place!
We’re 20 days into the 30 Day Challenge and, let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride so far!
Unfortunately, I’ve run into some major video hurdles this month, and the system I used to produce my videos up ’till now is just a mess. I’m trying to find a solution ASAP. I apologize for the lack of updates!
So, today I thought I would drop you guys a video using a new tool I found. It’s about using Quick Folders on your Firefox Quickbar (this tutorial may work for several other browsers as well). If you like the video format, PLEASE leave a comment on the blog so I know!
Have a great day!
-Garrett
