Self Hosted Wordpress Video plugins you have had success with.
-
Does anyone know of some good plugins for wordpress for self hosted video? Thanks in advance!
-
Both FlowPlayer and JW Player will do that - they are both very nice, well used, robust players. Check out the sites, they have demos showing you what you can get.

FlowPlayer and JW Player i will check those out. Anyone ever use any good wordpress video player plugins? I want something with flexibility thats already been tested.

The easiest way to do this is to upload your video to a hosted service like youtube.com or vimeo.
**Externally Hosted Video **
1. Upload video to Youtube.com or preferred video hosting site
2. Log into your dash board
3. Use the quickpress feature on your dash
- enter a title
- paste the video URL into the content box
- couple of tags for good measure
4. Then, check your post on the front end and WP has done all the grunt work, added the embed code and essentially created a video post (damn, I love wordpress).
Adding a Hosted Video
I am pretty sure you need a plugin for this and the two ones I see mentioned a lot in wordpress circles are FlowPlayer and JW Player both of which have a free version.
I always tend to use the hosted method above but there is a tutorial on how to use these plugins here:

Hope it helps!

If my blog is on Wordpress, and I've installed the AMP plug-in, what do I need to do to get Google to start indexing all my posts as AMP pages?
If I add /amp to the end of any of my posts, I can see that the plug-in is working. It's been months since I installed it, though, and Google hasn't indexed any of the AMP pages. Am I missing a step?

Is joomla better than wordpress let me know your thoughts
Hi, i am wondering if wordpress is better than joomla. We have been having a talk and been wondering if our main site www.in2town.co.uk should stay in joomla or if we should think about moving it over to wordpress. I would like to hear what people think, if wordpress is better than joomla for a magazine or if we should stick with joomla and forget about moving over to wordpress. It would be great to hear people's opinion and maybe some examples of popular magazines or newspaper sites that are using wordpress instead of joomla. It would also be interesting to know how hard or how easy it is to move across to wordpress from joomla. Would value your thoughts on this issue and find out which is better for seo. many thanks

Wordpress Security and Alternatives
No matter how secure we try to make our wordpress blogs they still got hacked. We recently got hacked(server level hacking, javascript insertion that took our server down, through the askimet plugin), anyway there was nothing really showing in the front end, no inserted links and nothing suspicious looking code. Oh well we are changing the passwords now and going through and deleting the javascript. The problem im facing is that i am handling over 100 blogs, so its very time consuming to do this. I know that once or twice a year everyone goes through a wordpress crisis but we really cant afford nor have the resources to fix it all the time. Are there any alternatives to wordpress blogs(as good as wordpress). Wordpress has been showing good results so far so it works as far as SEO goes, but we are trying to figure out what to do in order to not get hacked. Besides alternatives id like to know if there are any work arrounds to not get hacked with little maintenance needed. Any tips?
