Hi Rupert, Good perspective. Thank you. My blog is almost ready for prime time and to test the workings of videos I downloaded 2 videos that I had parked on YouTube. I'm pretty impressed with the simplicity of the embed and the quite nice functioning of the videos. I've been preparing to use blip and one of the reasons was because they seem to be an entryway to iTunes. What about that?
Also, I'm not really into coding although I've been directed to make some changes with wordPress and I've been fine with it. Where exactly would I post "&showinfo=0" in the embed code to clean-up the player? Thanx, and btw, the video of the Alexander Tech. is nice: calm, honest, conversational.
