Being able to post a video, title and description on multiple pages, and then being able to update them at the source is great. An awesome time saver.

I look forward to future support.

GREAT tutorial...

I'm not much of a 'reader' you see lol Hi Shiv, Thanks for this video, it helped a lot. It does leave me with a few questions though. 1) I wasn't too clear on what you mean by your blog (wordpress I assume), is 'registered' to your ExposureRoom Account. Is that something I could(or should) consider? - link the two somehow? 2) I'm glad you mentioned the viewonXR=? link code. - Until I can figure out wordpress (1st time user), my link colours are just nasty looking, and to be honest, the link doesn't sit very nicely either (in my current theme). So I could be tempted to remove it. I understand what you mean about wanting to draw people back to the XR site. Personally I really like this place, so I would be very happy for people to follow my link to XR. But could I be forgiven for seeking comfort in the knowledge that the actual video player head has a large XR logo? They can still click that and get to XR?! ...So in that case, might I be able to stay on the XR Christmas Card list? ;0/ lol 3) Is there any way to dim the lights in wordpress while a video is playing, just like on this site? 4) Last but not least, what 'theme' did you use for your profile in wordpress? I'm not having much success with finding a nice simplistic one like yours. I like it a lots. 5) Phew! All the best, Steve :)

Hi Steve, Sorry for the delayed reply. I somehow missed your post. For the tutorial. I have a blog registered in another domain. This blog uses Wordpress as the blogging engine. So it basically similar to what you'd do. The link color can be customized to fit in with the look and feel of your website. Depending on the theme it could automatically match or you'd need to add a selector to your CSS (a bit advanced - all this stuff). But if you can't figure it out or you just don't want to link back to XR, that's fine. We don't determine who stay's on the Christmas list and who doesn't based on this. The dim the light feature is an XR only feature I'm afraid. It requires some things to be in place on the site for it to work. To be honest - we have to keep somethings in "our pockets" so as to drive people to view videos here :). Not that this is one of those features. From Word press you can search for Themes. the theme you see in the video is one of those free themes available from within word press. Personally I'd suggest you purchase a professional theme (search Google for Professional Wordpress themes). They are well worth the investment.

Artem, The video itself will center inside of it's own container. So I guess the trouble you're having is with the html in your page? Can you provide a url to where you've embded your video?
