Facebook is very limited for styling as they want to make sure your styling does not take away from facebooks images to much. So when a client showed me the facebook page for beauty flash which showed a different tab to the wall tab when you first entered, I was interested on how they done this.

I have put together a quick video explaining how this can be done.

Usually this involves writing complicated emails with step by step instructions on how to replicate the issue.

I came across screen toaster which make it much easier to create video tutorials of what is happening  on your screen. Usually you would have to install a windows application and then get this to capture video, convert it to a web format and upload it to your webserver or youtube. Screen Toaster does all of this as a web app. So just create a free account and put your headset on and you can create and upload a video in a couple of minutes. Then send a link to your contact asking them to follow your instruction on the video.

Here is one I made earlier, where I explain to a client the new functionality I have added to their shopping cart.

Writing CSS inline can be time consuming, and repetitive. MailChimp has a CSS inline conversion tool built right in that will automatically transform all of your local styles into inline styles. Designers have found it so useful, we thought we’d share it with everyone else – even if you don’t have a MailChimp account.
