Hi,
I really love your blog and read it every week. I don't see any problem to extract text and tips from other blogs but it is a good manner (or at least elegant) to make a citation on the original author in your post.
Hi
This was a pretty interesting guide for installing the Weblider applet
Thank You very much
This is a sweet app! I love it. Just what I was looking for. I have now added your blog to my 'required reading' list. Thanks!
Tried to install, but I get this error:
webilder:
Depends: python (>=2.5) but 2.4.2-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
Depends: python-support but it is not going to be installed
I'm still new to Ubuntu and not sure what I'm doing wrong...
Thank you. I love it so much.
What about having it pull webcam images?
