back when i was playing with the showinabox people, one of my propositions was to utilize your wordpress rss feed (or other xml flavor) using the simplepie wordpress plugin (parser) and then build templates however you want and inject whatever data from the feed that you want. this was an alternative to staying within the confines of the wordpress theming engine. an example of this is located here: http://videobloggers.org/vlogwall/ although this is not using the wordpress feed, instead using a mefeedia feed. the nice thing about it is that you can leave your blog as is and have an alternative presentation of your content made available to visitors. i also like just uisng the flash player + playlisting approach with some javascript api usage to handle contextual content and comments etc. sull On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 11:43 AM, J.
