Dingalinks

Use those dingalinks.

Dingalinks are hotlinks that take you to a specific time in a bh.tv diavlog. For example, the dingalink http://bloggingheads.tv/?id=42&in=7:28 would start playing the video 7 minutes and 28 seconds into diavlog number 42. You can use dingalinks—in e-mails or on blogs—to direct people's attention to any particular utterance or exchange within any diavlog. (At last—quoting out of context comes to the world of video!)

How do you create a dingalink? When the video you're watching reaches the point you want to call attention to, click the "dingalink" button below the screen (lower right). Then look up in your browser's address space and you'll see the dingalink, which you can now copy and paste. (Users of the Mozilla Fireflox browser may need a plug-in, and they should receive instructions to this effect when they click on the dingalink button. The place to find the plug-in is: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download.) If you feel you've clicked the dingalink button a few seconds too late, or too early, you can of course alter the digits at the end of the dingalink manually. (For that matter, if you're having trouble with the dingalink button, you can create the dingalink from scratch manually by using the formula above.)
