  Hi—

  I never embed videos, but I have an exception. It’s an mp4, so I’m not sure there’s any way to do it without buying the VideoPress upgrade….anybody?

  Thanks!

  YT I don’t think is directly supported, but you can use the vodpod button to embed it.

  Hi—

  first of all, thanks for always being so helpful, TSP!

  Second, though, yes, I read that, and as near as I can tell, maybe I’m misunderstanding, but Vodpod only embed videos into the sidebar? And as my title notes, this is a video NOT from YT or Google—therein lies my confusion.

  Thanks!

  No, you are thinking of the vodpod widget. You can use the vodpod button (browser add-on) and it will allow you to embed videos that are not directly supported here. The video does need to be uploaded to a video sharing site though.

  Get yourself an account at youtube, vimeo, or dailymotion, flickr or viddler, upload your video to that service, and then you can embed it using the appropriate shortcodes that wordpress.
