  I am creating a series of videos, and I’d like to have them in a list on a page so people can browse instead of having to scroll through every video. However, I can’t figure out how to do this. It seems that I can make a list of pages, or even a list of graphics, but not a list of videos. Any suggestions?
  thx,

  Hi Mark,

  Can you tell me what format these videos are in? Are they Youtube videos? Do you just want the link and not the embed of the video?

  You can link to your video like this:

  Links

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hey, Thanks for your reply. I had looked at links, but was hoping there’d be something a bit more turnkey than html coding (elementary though it is). I’m going to give that a try!
  thx,

  You’re absolutely right, I want to link rather than imbed. The media is uploaded here to word press, and I can’t seem to find way to create a link using the tags that wordpress gives me: [wpvideo CRNDdLKi] I could upload them to youtube, and likely links would be easy to do then, but I’m trying to figure out how to do it using what I’ve uploaded here.
  thx,

  Okay I did that and it works, but what I wanted was a link that would play the video on my website rather than taking the viewer away from my site to youtube. Suggestions?
  thx,

  You could upload the video to your Media > Library and then link to your Attachment page.

  For example, here is the link to one of your videos:

  [video src="https://naplesjoytrain.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/title-company-or-attorney.mp4" /]

  When you edit the video, there will be a URL to the attachment page of the video.

  That’s perfect, but after the video ends, it does strand my viewer on that video page unless they know to hit the back button. Is there a way to generate a, “child” page to view the video in, or to have it bounce back to the linking page after it plays?
  thx,

  Hi Mark,

  Would you can do is embed the video on another page, and link to that for you main video links page.
