Awesome script Josh. Thanks for that contribution to the vlogosphere. I'm wondering if you or anyone else has basically done the same thing but embedded the video within the image area of the blog post. I see Steve Garfield's vlog has exactly what I mean. To accomplish that, there is some javascript wrapped around what is displayed in the blog which then calls an external script to change it's contents. Hoping that might be something that can be shared.
The net benefit of this method is that a single page with multiple blog entries could all have embedded videos, which would only activate upon clicking. And keeps the viewer on your page for easy commenting access. thanks, -eddie On Thu, Jan 19, 2006 at 10:59:52PM -0800, Joshua Kinberg wrote: > Also, to point something out... the popup script I wrote still makes a > direct link to the media file so that spiders and services like > FeedBurner are still able to access the media. > > Check the code.
