New *good* WP plugin for YouTube, Google Video
Web August 21st, 2006It took longer than I thought, but someone finally released a polished and easy-to-use plugin to help people put all sorts of videos in Wordpress posts.
If you’re interested in putting videos in Wordpress posts, you no longer have to follow my instructions to hack wordpress into this capability. Just head over toone of my personal favorite plugin guys, Viper007Bond, and download his Video Quicktags plugin. Same great functionality as my method, but with pretty buttons in the WYSIWYG editor!
Have a look around this guy’s site for a bit while you’re at it, he’s got a lot of great stuff.
edit: looks like viper007bond’s site is down. In the meantime: Viper007Bond’s QuickTags Plugin There isn’t any license info in the plugin, so hopefully he can comment on here and let us know what’s up with the site/plugin licensing…

Ah. It seems your friend’s site is down, Viper007Bond. Any way you can provide the plugin? Since you are friends and all.

Totally awesome plugin, thanks for getting the word out. This is so much better than Extreme Video Plugin.

[...] After being very irritated for some time at the lack of support for videos inside wordpress, I finally stumbled upon a plugin that makes it seamless. It supports YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, .mov, .mpg, and .wmv and it integrates it all right into the graphical editor. It allows you to post a movie to wordpress with just a single click. Viper007bond is a genius. Track down Video QuickTags over at geeklimit. Tags [google technology video web wordpress ] [...]

This is awesome! Great job, I’m using it on my site from now on! Why doesn’t WP incorporate things like this into their software in the first place?

It’s a fantastic plugin! I’ve been looking for something like this for the last 3 weeks. Definitely much better and easier to use than Extreme Video Plugin.
