SearchMonkey Screencast #1 - Trigger Data

Here is a screencast showing how to make a "data triggered" plugin. It won't show the normal "Load Error" or "Enhancement Failed" for results that don't have the data. Remember, this technique only works on prexisting data, and not data services, so go mark-up your pages! :)

Module (so you can clone it if somehow the gallery clone doesn't work) : SearchMonkey-YDirectory.txt

Gallery (so you can use it, and clone it) : Y!Directory in Gallery

No comments? No loving my voice? No encouraging me to make more screencasts? No forbidding my speaking on the Internet? Nothing? Geez.

The screencast is really great for starters. Much easier than reading through the user guide. However, there are too many scrolling in this screencast. A little dizzy now. :)

Perfect. I'll post some more with less scrolling. Good point.
