This release is of a javascript file (vpip.js) with instructions on
installation in Blogger & Wordpress. This will make it somewhat
universaly available without the wait for coding the UI features in
all the blogging systems.
I will setup a web page where the specifications for a videoblog movie
entry can be put in and it'll generate the code to copy and paste
which will include the "type={mime type}". But the user can write the
code directly in their blogging software. So I will make "type={mime
type}" optional but strongly recommended. I'll code vpip so that it
will use "type={mime type}" first and if not available the file extension.
