Add videos to your blog in 10 seconds!

Adding your favorite videos to your blog is freaking easy. Just follow these simple steps:

Login to your blog’s admin section (by visiting http://.slehos.com/wp-admin).
Click on Write > Write Post (or) Write Page (if you want to create an exclusive videos page).
To add videos from youtube, google videos, metacafe, myspace etc. click on the tiny ‘A’ icon in the editor. If you dont see any of those icons, then shift to “Code” view and then click “Media”. Now, just copy-paste the video url.
Publish the post/page and enjoy.

Additional information (optional):

Upload your mp3, flv, Quicktime mov, mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, 3gp, Windows Media wmv, avi or asf file via the WordPress editor’s upload browser then “send to editor” - or make a hypertext link to any external file on the web - and you’re done!

For Quicktime files you can replace the default AMP placeholder image by uploading a jpeg to the same directory as your movie (e.g., my-movie.mov) and giving it the filename my-movie.mov.jpg. AMP will then load your custom image when playing that movie.

WordPress Editor: For custom Flash swf embeds use the Flash “ƒ” button, likewise use the Director “d” button for embedding dcr movies. For all other supported media player formats (including Google Video, YouTube, Apple iMixes etc.,) as well as full url’s to href linked media (mp3, flv, mov, wmv etc.) use the “A” for Anarchy button.

Supported Media Players:

Copy/paste the page URL
YouTube
Google Video
iFilm
Revver
Metacafe
MySpace
GoEar
AtomFilms

Copy/paste the embeddable player
DailyMotion
Break.com
Apple iTunes iMixes.
