Tools to add videos to your Wordpress blog
2007 is bound to become just as exciting as 2006 when it comes to using videos in the blogging space. Wordpress fortunately has a huge community of developers that have made some excellent tools to assist you in videotizing your blog.
Hosting the videos on your own servers is not recommended. In the YouTube and Google Video era it is completely redundant to spend your bandwith and server capacity to host the videos yourself. Use the facilities on those free services to upload your videos and then display them on your blog.
My favourite plugin for publishing videos in posts is Viper’s Video Quicktags. By the click of a button you add videos from a whole range of video services using their video IDs.
Sidebar videos was introduced to the Wordpress community with the widget technology. We are proud to be part of the video blogging revolution with the two sidebar widgets from Daikos.Net. Daiko’s Video Widget gives you random videos from YouTube, Google and MySpace right in your sidebar. Daiko’s Google Videobar gives you the Google GSVideoBar as a widget, fully customizeable from your widget control panel.
Give life to your blog with videos. Either your own or simply add one of the many videos from YouTube, Google Video or MySpace. And last but not least, Happy Video Blogging Hollidays!
