I Found a Great Plugin for Videos!

I work for a university, building websites all day, so you can imagine my shock when I added in some code or formatted a pic and it didnt function the way it does at work. All of our videos pop-up with this cool light box and all I have to do is format a picture, set certain CSS parameters on it, as well as a link, and Wham! I get an awesome looking video that doesn't navigate away form the page.

I learned with the first page I tried that on, that the code I tried to put in the back office or the other magic that I do at work, suddenly was useless here. I was despondent until I found Ari light box.

If you want to see what it can do just go into the plug-ins section and click add new. Then from the page that pops up enter Ari light box or video light box. I have actually tried a few of them and I must say that this one is the best! This is not solicitation because it is a free plugin but just a recommendation from a friend.

I don't need to add anything except the link to the Youtube video I have. You will also need to set it up so that it will play the videos in a box. If you want to see what it can do they even have a sample page that shows how you can make both pictures and videos pop-out.

My site went from, "Meh!" to "Whao!" just like that! I'm not one for showing or bragging or whatever, but I do like to help out my fellow bloggers and if you are putting links to videos on your page then this plugin will really do the job.

I hope this helps someone who is looking for something to jazz up their sites. That's what my site is about; To help other teachers jazz up their classes.

I've learned so much from all the fine people here, I hope that this helps someone else who is looking for something cool but useful. If someone has any other cool things to add to a page, I'd love to hear them. Sometimes I feel like the worst thing is that we don't know, what we don't know.

All the best,

Jim
