Re: [videoblogging] Re: using josh's pop up thing.
One thing to keep in mind when deleting your old site is the link authority that you have built up. If you leave your old files in tact and also point to your new site, you will actually increase your link authority in the long run as you will have a whole other site pointing to your new site. If you delete everything and start from scratch, or move everything, its likely you will, well, you start from scratch. I noticed that Robert Scoble opted to leave his old site in tact and direct newbees to the new domain: http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/ Just a consideration.

That would be one way. However my number one goal when I started ws that I
didn't want to change the way I write links. That's why I'm not doing the
onclick="" thing.

Yep. This is the reason I wrote the popup generator like this. No hidden links.

Can't you supply the real url but use an onclick handler? Then clients
without Javascript can still get to it:
http://foo.com/"; onclick="window.open('http://foo.com/');return
false">http://foo.com/
or better (if it works for you):
http://foo.com/";
onclick="window.open(this.href)">http://foo.com/
Take another look at the page Josh has:

for some example code.

IE doesn't care about the "return false" in the replaceLink function. This is what makes any other browser stop following the link.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: using josh's pop up thing.
ok so I really liked the way Andreas' script worked so I started tweaking it a bit. I'm no code wizard but I believe I have it working for QuickTime, Windows Media, MP3s, and will resize the player according to the size of the still image used to represent it. It doesn't work in IE however. my stats show that most of my visitors are still on IE (I pitty them) ... anyone know how to make it cross-browser-friendly?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: using josh's pop up thing.
yeah, Andreas has the right approach herei also take a similar approach with same end result on vlogdir.com.example:http://vlogdir.com/permalink/594 when chris added the entry, he filled out a form to include an image and a video. the end result works as if the image were a quicktime poster movie, but its not.some of andreas' scripts caveats apply here, except the image can be any size (technically, but not setup that way on vlogdir) and it does work on Internet Explorer fine. It also checks/detects for Quicktime plugin and displays message with link to download quicktime if user does not have it. could be made into a plugin of course. and yeah josh is correct about the popup blockers it has no effect if a user initiates the popup from clicking a link.also, though I am a fan of embedding video on pages (this includes popup window), i think it is poor practice to do so in any way that causes the video to download automatically on a page, even the media permalink page. Especially in a blog page where people can submit comments... because often times after this is submitted the page reloads and the video starts to download again wasting bandwidth. Yes, a little so-called Ajax scripting for the comments form would help here to but thats besides the point. even sites like blip.tv work like this. either make the comments in a popup window like rocketboom (ever wonder why they do this? now you know) or make the video in a popup or use _javascript_ as mentioned here and by andreas, or use a combination of an iframe and show/hide div layer to mimic the function of the popup window but embedded on page. there are also some newer more interesting techniques i've been experimenting with but i wont get into that techbabble here.sullOn 1/20/06, Andreas Haugstrup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Fri, 20 Jan 2006 11:02:55 +0100, Eddie Codel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> Awesome script Josh.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: using josh's pop up thing.
Awesome script Josh. Thanks for that contribution to the vlogosphere. I'm wondering if you or anyone else has basically done the same thing but embedded the video within the image area of the blog post. I see Steve Garfield's vlog has exactly what I mean. To accomplish that, there is some javascript wrapped around what is displayed in the blog which then calls an external script to change it's contents. Hoping that might be something that can be shared. The net benefit of this method is that a single page with multiple blog entries could all have embedded videos, which would only activate upon clicking. And keeps the viewer on your page for easy commenting access. thanks, -eddie On Thu, Jan 19, 2006 at 10:59:52PM -0800, Joshua Kinberg wrote: > Also, to point something out... the popup script I wrote still makes a > direct link to the media file so that spiders and services like > FeedBurner are still able to access the media. > > Check the code.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: using josh's pop up thing.
Also, to point something out... the popup script I wrote still makes a direct link to the media file so that spiders and services like FeedBurner are still able to access the media. Check the code. I wrote it for exactly this purpose... interoperability. It is not used as a tactic to "control" the media when used this way. There is nothing hidden. -Josh On 1/19/06, Joshua Kinberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > NO, popup blockers do not block popups that you explicitly click to activate. > Popup blockers only block popups that launch on the page load, but not > upon clicking a link. > > -Josh > > > On 1/19/06, LeanBackVids.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, pop-ups are no longer assumed reliable.

NO, popup blockers do not block popups that you explicitly click to activate. Popup blockers only block popups that launch on the page load, but not upon clicking a link. -Josh On 1/19/06, LeanBackVids.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, pop-ups are no longer assumed reliable.
