I'm still a bit new here but I have a 2-part question. I was having a hard time embedding youtube videos into my wordpress blog, sometimes they would be there and somedays not. Thanks to this forum I was led over to Blip.tv where the embedd always work.
Can someone explain to me why you would want to do what Michael Verdi is doing with his Alive in Bagdad where he uses the permalinks and a jpeg instead of just using the copy paste code that blip gives you to embedd the video right into your blog? Also, is there a reason why many blogs put all 3 formats: .mov,wma,flsh, under a post. Why wouldn't you just rely on Flash? I thought that 98% of people had flash installed? Thanks for the help, Tobey
