Video Blogs Using a blogger tweak developed by Svein Høier and Jon Hoem, I've generated some prototype embedded-video-capable weblogs. You can find the code for my most straight-forward design here. The tweak allows you to use the "post link" feature of blogger to embed Quicktime playable video files in a blog post.

NOTE: The Following Video Weblogs have since been disabled...

Sample Blogger Video Weblog #1 - Note that in this design, video files are designated by a generic photo place holder that reads "click to play." You can create unique place holders, but this is much easier. I've also removed the date and timestamps for the posts that make up this weblog. The can be added again using the blogger settings menu. .

Sample Blogger Video Weblog #2 - Same basic design as #1 but with date and timestamp entact. It also reproduces my standard menu and links. The first video window will not work because there's actually no video play; I plugged a standard www. link into the post link window, which generated the standard placeholder. The invitation to download the code in the right column will actually take you the code my original vlog site.


Sample Blogger Video Weblog #3 - All the video for this site is hosted on CWRL servers, but unlike #1 and #2, the remaining content and archives for this weblog are handled by blogger. Notice that this design employs unique place holders for each video. This took a little extra work. For information about the process, have a look at Høier and Hoem's original paper.  ¶ 4:58 PM
