Thanks everyone for sharing your resources. Paul, that is a lovely template and the flaticons site is fantastic.
I want to correct some of the URLs that appear on my prior post. I did not add them myself; they appeared after I posted.
The picture resizer I use is Picture Resizer 6.0 from
www.rw-designer.com/picture-resizeThe color Picker is Quick HTML Color Picker from
www.allgraphicstools.comMy Microsoft Expression Recorder is version 4, and it is not the same file as what is currently offered at the link. The version 4 is a great screen recorder. (I save legacy version downloads just in case my favorite tools are discontinued or change their freeware status.)
We are particularly interested in *simple* free screencasting and screen capturing tools as an option for SME's to record quick screen demos which we can utilize in Elearning course development. Even better if it is already part of their OS (in our case, Microsoft 2010 on Win 7). MS Problem Steps Recorder is a built in screen-recording tool that can be accessed by typing "psr.exe" or "steps" into the system search.The Recorder generates an .mht file of screen shots during each click, plus a text description of the screen clicks. This file can be edited with Word or played in the browser as a slide show. In Win 8 it's called Steps Recorder.
