How do I add a video to a blog?
The script automatically supports adding video items into blogs. It couldn't be simpler!

The script supports adding videos automatically, as long as they're in the .flv format. Upload a video file to the files/ directory. If you want to, you can also upload a preview image of it. Then you just insert this code:
<showvideo>files/videoname.flv</showvideo>

And your video will automatically be inserted. The preview image should be a JPEG, called videoname.jpg, and should also be uploaded into the files/ directory.

Converting your videos to .flv is easy. Check out Riva FLV Encoder, or, if you're a Mac user, get the trial version of VisualHub.
