   Hey how do some people get short 1-2 minute video clips on their page? I've tried doing it through the uploading thing but it only uploads images!And says the clip doesn't meet security guidelines!!

   Thanks!!

   I believe that they are hosting their videos through youtube and/or google video.

   There is information on how to do this at http://faq.wordpress.com

   But i can answer you still..
   Save, at first you need a video-hoster.. http://www.youtube.com is a very good page..
   When you have uploaded you video clip from there, you'll just refere it from you post..

   like this [youtube=http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahx-IBNFALE]

   (just without the "spaces")

   THATs SOME SIMPLE HTML.. all you have to do is insert a link :)

   Hope that helps a bit..

   The exclamation mark(s) made me think you'd made some discovery ;-)

   Not to be bitchy, but I'd go easy on them. Hurts my eyes.

   Just for reference, here's the write up on Youtube and for Google videos.

   Also here's a trick on how to offer a link to download the YouTube video in question. :whistle:

   edit: Rumor has it that staff is testing other sources as well currently. ;)
