Hi Thomas,
Thanks a lot for the feedback. As we keep reiterating it is feedback from active users which keeps the community going. To your queries:
i. Feedback has been duly noted and links would be updated very soon.
ii. I am looking at the following part of the documentation
I agree it does not mention where the Make Mashlet option is. Thanks again for this feedback. As far as the mashup not working goes, one needs to Save and then Publish (both steps) the mashup before it is usable in a mashlet or elsewhere. Could you confirm that you have published the mashup?
The tutorials were written as a step-by-step process done in several topics. Each step has a link at the bottom of the page to the next step/topic. This topic assumes (as all the tutorial topics do) that you have just finished the previous step (previous topic) which is in Wires, as you surmised, Tom.
I do appreciate the feedback and will correct disconnects between the tutorial and the user interface.

#1. Video links are dead under 'How Do I->Share Mashlets' tab on the Presto Server home page:
http://www.jackbe.com/enterprise-mashup/videos/mashlets-create-mashlet-for-a-service
http://www.jackbe.com/enterprise-mashup/videos/mashlets-create-mashlet-for-a-type
I didn't try every link. I just know those two give you missing page errors (HTTP 404)
#2 The tutorial for creating mashups is OK, but the following tutorial, which walks you through creating a mashlet to expose the mashup, doesn't tell you where the 'Make Mashlet' option is. I think it's referring to opening up the mashup in Wires, then clicking More Actions->View Mashup Properties->Create Mashlet, but I'm not 100% sure, and when I do that, the instructions don't really follow the screens, and I get a 'Failed to invoke Service - <mashupname>' error (even though I could preview the mashup OK previously.)
