New EE Video Site & Community Tidbits

There are some great things happening out in EE Land (the EE Community Forums and beyond in the wild vastness of the Intertubes*).

First I want to direct your attention to EE and You from George at Shape Shed. George’s dry-British humor gives a different take on EE video tutorials which I quite enjoy. EE and You is advertisement driven which means they are free to watch.

Airbag’s EE Guru Ryan Irelan bring you First Timer, an Extension that will “Redirect members to a special landing page the first time they log in to an ExpressionEngine site.” This is the same Ryan behind EE Screencasts.

John from Tyssen Design has written up a tutorial on extending the PayPal options in SimpleCommerce with the help of Related Entries and an extension from Mark “I write lots of useful EE stuff” Huot. John recently added this article to the EE Wiki as well.

WTHIGO? has started a collection of Clips for Panic’s Coda and made them available on the EE Forums. If you are a Coda user, consider contributing to his efforts there.

Marcus Neato runs an “ExpressionEngine Theme Studio” called EE Templates. If you are a forum regular you probably already knew that. What you may not know is that Marcus is giving away the two and three column versions of his Shades of Grey Theme for free. You can find both in the Freebies category of the EE Templates Blog.

Do you have a resource you want me to list on the EE Blog? I’d love to know about it. Just and tell me a bit about it. It could be a forum post that helped you out, an article, an Add-on, anything EE related will do and self-promotion is just fine. I’ll collect the best of them and post them on the Blog. With any luck, this will turn into a regular feature.

* Fun note. Senator Ted Stevens, the very one who made the comment about the internet being a series of tubes, his re-election website is on EE. I’m not making a political statement or endorsement of any kind here, I just find it amusing that the series of tubes just may be EE powered.
