  Um okay, I know we can only have videos from sites like youtube.com in our posts but check this out:

  Kotaku has a function in their video players which let you login to your wordpress blog and post the video via an API I’m guessing.

  Got it there^^

  So if I can do that with kotaku vids, why can’t I do it with other video sharing sites other than your current supported (shortcode) ones?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Where did you get the idea we could only have YouTube videos? The support documents show all kinds of video platforms you can use. Not to mention the Vodpod workaround.

  Wait it didn’t work for viddler….. here’s the code:

  <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ width=”437″ height=”265″ id=”viddler”><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/944cdc1b” /><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always” /><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true” /><param name=”flashvars” value=”fake=1″/><embed src=”http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/944cdc1b” width=”437″ height=”265″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowScriptAccess=”always” allowFullScreen=”true” flashvars=”fake=1″ name=”viddler” ></embed></object>

  How do I use shortcode for this?!
