    Tips & tricks

    How do I place videos on my blog or site?

    How can I embed a video in my blog?
    Embedding is simple. You just copy the embedding code, which you find next to every film, into the editor. When you publish the report, you will see the film immediately.

    Example of an embedding code.
    <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="430" height="369" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" >  <param name="movie" value="http://www.garagetv.be/v/S5SoZqdJPmqKox0ULIktGLEXTAA61saogpMMZOq7-dOw5IjLhOqR9DIkWIWizuZ56Y/v.aspx" />  <param name="quality" value="high" />  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">  <embed width="430" height="369" src="http://www.garagetv.be/v/S5SoZqdJPmqKox0ULIktGLEXTAA61saogpMMZOq7-dOw5IjLhOqR9DIkWIWizuZ56Y/v.aspx" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  ></embed></object>

    How can I embed a video in Wordpress?
    For Wordpress you will need a free plug-in. You can download the plug-in here. Besides GarageTV, this plug-in supports almost all other video sites. How do you proceed?

    1. Install the plug-in.
    Once you have downloaded the plug-in, unzip the file. You must then place the files in your plug-in directory. Usually this will be the file folder “../wp-content/plugins/”. As soon as you have uploaded these files, you must activate the plug-in in WordPress admin.

    2. Copy the correct code.
    If you now write a report, you will see a small TV screen in the upper right-hand corner of the menu bar. When you click on that, a pop-up appears with all kinds of video sites. Select ‘GarageTV’. Then copy the embedding code of the film that you want. The only thing that you have to fill in as a video link is what is documented in the code below. Obviously you have to take the code of the film that you want to embed. Then click on 'Publish' and view the result.

    Example of an embedding code.
    <object codebase=”http …
    <param name=”movie” value=”http://www.garagetv.be/v/S5JqZTozNRH!4B7E3OSUnvfDvcS!x6mGlk5mo3EFGtvLCD4HCNvcM0C-x-Cwgi5oLC/v.aspx” />
