When I want to upload videos onto my blog it's difficult to get the player to work, what is the best way to get my videos to work?

Is your blog built on WP platform?

not sure about the videos. but you can get music content from our site. and earn on it.
the example blog is downloadkeeper dot net

There are a number of plugins for Wordpress (lets assume thats what you are using as its the main blogging platform out there) that you can use for embedding videos on your site. I'll also assume that it's not for commercial gain so this opens up more options.

First port of call - FLV Embed. - This is great for if you want to host your own vids or you want to use a hosting service other than Youtube ie photobucket etc. This you put a link into the post which is a link to the FLV file (the format for videos to use on blogs as its not as bandwidth heavy). Post will now show th video.

If you want a gallery of you tube clips, try "Tubepress" This will add an extra option in to your options which opens up a load of places to import vids, show them in a gallery etc.

All plugins are available from wordpress.org/extend/plugins

Good luck.

Martin.

Well you could always upload your vids at you tube and embed it into your blog.

First take authority of your video by uploading on you tube then you can embed all videos by you tube in your blog.

Why don't you 2 clowns read OP before making your posts.

The question is how to embed and not where to download them from.

Hi..:coffee::coffee:

By creating a video blog post for your website you are doing a few things for your SEO. First off, you are making it easier for visitors to find related videos and stay engaged with your blog. Secondly, by keeping the videos on your website you are creating more content for the search engines to read and index.


One thing you should Keep in mind that search spiders can’t see videos like a human visitor, which means the descriptions are incredibly important. You could even provide a full transcript of each video to help maximize exposure.

Thanks
