Wordpress video embedding for the lose

07 July, 2008

Anyone care to explain why the video embedded in my last post destroys my weblog formatting? Or rather, why WordPress’ parsing of the HTML seems to have gone on an insane rampage?

Let me guess, there’s a plugin for that, right?

I don’t know why sites make their embed codes so complicated; all you need is

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”432″ height=”285″ data=”http://static.videoegg.com/ted2/flash/loader.swf?Quality=High&file=http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/MarkBittman_2007P_high.flv&allowFullscreen=true”/>
