Hey thanks for writing about it! Viddler makes special code for wordpress that won’t give you any problems. Just click the embed button in the video and select the wordpress option. Viddler is great because they make their player blog friendly.

Cool we got on a local TV station!!!

Darn, beaten to it. I came here specifically to say you looked amazing in that picture (What’s wrong with dorky???), and that I wish I could wear shirts like that. Curse my too-large tum and too-small chest!

thanks for saying I look cute in the pic (I thought it was kinda dorky!), and I love that shirt too.

and Jackson — extra thanks on the WP hack. I’ll try it this afternoon.

as for iTouch porn, try searching Fleshbot, and in the meantime I’ll ask a friend “in the know”. :)

I was at a tattoo convention once where I got interviewed by a roving TV reporter. Then at 11:00 that night, a bunch of people came out of the hotel bar and told me that I’d been on the 11:00 news. And when I got home on Monday, a bunch more told me I’d been on CNN. I guess it was a slow weekend. But it was a surreal experience.

And yes, you’re awfully cute in that picture.

I couldn’t find an email address for you anywhere. Do you know of any websites like red porn where you can get porn on the itouch

Hey I really like that shirt you were wearing that day, and I thought your interview was really great. A lot better then some of the other people she interviewed.

Have a Great day!

If you’re using the ‘visual editor’ in WP, even if you enter the embed string in the ‘code’ tab, it’ll get borked. Go to Users > Your Profile and under Personal Options (top left, right under the menu nav) turn off the ‘Use the visual editor when writing’ checkbox. It means you don’t get the fancy WYSIWIG interface, but posting third-party code will go much more smoothly — I rely on clicking “save and continue editing” and then opening the preview link in a new tab to do my proofreading and embed code testing.

The other trick I use is that sometimes embed width and height settings are wider than the column — to fix that, and preserve aspect, you take the current height, multiply it by the desired width, and divide by the current width (I use the mac calculator app). Then put that number as the new height and the desired width as the new width. You may have to edit these values in two places — one for the embed attributes and, if necessary, again for the object parameter. Hope that a) makes sense and b) helps.
