element14 Presents presenters

 dougw Very handy list.  I admit to searching around for the correct @mention link.

I'm pretty sure that Natasha is TechnoChic .

Good shout!

Thanks I added it...

Some might not want their whole names on the Internet, or want to limit it as much as generally possible, maybe just the first name is sufficient anyway.  Workshopshed is the very excellent Andy. 

Participation on the Internet is a tradeoff between benefits and risks. Many people feel the risks are too high to have any footprint. Many more feel the risks are only worth it if they use pseudonyms and avatars. All are valid opinions. I am just expressing a desire to know who I am "talking" to, even if it is only a pseudonym. Everyone is free to refuse to supply that info. Every blog or comment on this forum has a name associated with it, except the element14 Presents blogs. I guess the forum could work without IDs, but it would likely lose many of its social benefits.

Personally, my only concern with listing the people in the videos is that members might figure out "the intern" is actually just me in a wig!

Do you mean on the actual project page?

I just looked at a couple and noticed the creator's profile isn't linked.

Edit: There are banners at the bottom of the page with links to the creator's other projects and about page. So maybe something could be done to make that banner more visible. And now I see how the "about" pages do not link to the element14 community profile page.

So it might not even be evident to people that the person in the thumbnail is the one replying to comments...

Or did you mean something else?

baldengineer  I advocate on the e14 Presents project page.  The "who" isn't always obvious to the most casual observer.  If you've been around a while, you probably have acquired the tribal knowledge, but newer folks who are looking for other content that you have created must wait for you to reply to a question on that page to make the connection.  While it can be deduced, why can't it simply be added?

Some have a link, some don't - I think e14 presents pages could benefit from improved linkage and keywords.

Assuming you know baldengineer is an e14 presents host (it isn't apparent by default).

If you search on baldengineer it doesn't come up with Workbench Wednesdays.

If you search for "baldengineer element14 presents" it only comes up with DC to Daylight episodes.

I suspect the original idea was that tags would serve this identification purpose. But those get lost in the page noise. (I think there are at least ten variations for me.) And, sometimes, the project pages get tagged with the wrong content creator.

But I think something to highlight better the creator's (element14 Community) name and other content makes sense.
