Welcome to the contributor's guide to AppleKeynotes.com.
AppleKeynotes.com aims to be the best website for finding and downloading Apple Keynotes in the world. To achieve this, we need your help, and your Apple video clips.
If you have a few Apple Keynotes, a bit of spare time to upload, and a generous soul, read on.
There are a few steps you need to follow to get uploading quickly.
1. Create the file. We would like all video clips to be posted in .zip format, so that when a user clicks on the file, it doesn't attempt to stream - it simply downloads. We think thats what most users will want.
Luckily, it is very easy to create a .zip in Mac OS X. Simply locate the file you wish to upload, right click on it, and select "Create Archive Of "[file name]"". OS X will create a .zip in the same location as the file was originally in. Thats all you have to do.
2. Download an ftp client, or use one you already have. Try CyberDuck (thanks for user input) as a freeware client if you don't already have one.
Find where you insert new details, and do as follows..
Server: applekeynotes.com
Username: macrumors
Password: PM ME
Location: /keynotes
3. In the FTP client, you need to find the right place to upload your keynotes. There may be a folder called "..." initally. Eneter this. Then enter the folder applekeynotes. Then enter the folder Keynotes. This is where we want the keynotes to be kept.
4. Register for AppleKeynotes.com WordPress here.
5. Log in to AppleKeynotes.com here.
6. Go to "New Post". Title your Keynote, select the area you want to save it into (category), and type up a short summary. Then locate the file you have upload, which should have been uploaded here, and include a link to the download in your post, preferably using the HTML - use the tags <a href="your link">Text to describe your link</a>. If you don't understand this, don't worry - an administrator will fix it for your as soon as possible.
7. Reflect in your own goodness - you are great - thanks!
These steps are brief, and I will add more detail, and screenshots, asap. Thanks all.
Note 9/2/06 - the WordPress theme appears to be slightly messed up, I am working to get a better one in. Thanks.
