I have tried to embed vdo onto my blog for quite awhile but it was not successful. I used to get YouTube VDO and place it to my blog with no problem. But when it comes to the VDO which does not come from public site and provides you with the embedded code, it seems to be a different story. Just a couple of days ago, I found the need that I have to do this and then I did the research. Fortunately, I found how to do that. Here are what I found.

1 If you got the vdo from other private sites and they allow you to use the vdo for example, the vdo which promotes the product of a merchant and he allows you to do so, you can use his vdo. Normally, they will provide you with the embedded code. You can just use the code and you will get what you want. If they don’t provide that, you can ask.

2 Now, I have my own vdo. I need to make it into postable file. Normally, I got the vdo in avi or wmv. I will then need to make it in flv. I use format factory software to do the job. If you don’t have this software, you may have to find some other tools that you can use. I am sure that you can use some free tool online.

3 If you need to edit your vdo for example, you want to combine a few vdos together, you can do that by Window movie maker or Camtasia Studio. Make sure that you do that before you convert it to Flv.

4 Since you now have the right file, you can upload the file to your server. Take note where you put the file.

5 Search Google and find wordtube plugin. It is free and you can download it easily. Unzip the file. Upload it to the plugin folder in your wordpress.

6 Activate your plugin. Make sure that you have the latest version of wordtube otherwise you will need to find player.swf and yt.swf to put into your wordtube folder.

7 Now you will need to make the plugin be able to find your vdo. Go to Media section in wordpress admin. Select wordtube. Select insert new media file. Fill in all necessary information.

8 Select update. Then you can see the preview. Notice the wording below the preview. You will see what’s read

You can show all videos/media files in a playlist. Show this playlist with the tag [playlist id=0]

That is what you need to do. Post in your post or page with this word.

9 You now have the VDO on your wordpress blog
