Problem: Video embed Codes are annoying. Solution: We developed this Wordpress plugin to embed videos with one simple line (the link to the video page). The plugin works with oEmbed-compatible sites like NFB.ca and Vimeo.com. We willl talk a little bit about what oEmbed is, how this plugin works, and how it can help you share films online.

when you edit posts.

wp tag filters and be crippled or not
even shown!
