WordPress and Youtube

Hey,

A little while ago I was struggling to get embedded youtube videos working through the blog in internet explorer. I didn’t realize it, since I use firefox and opera, but in IE, the pasted code from youtube full on breaks the page. It loads it, gets to the vids, freaks out, and goes blank.

Turns out that just wrapping the embed code in ‘code’ tags via the wordpress editor will fix the problem. A very simple, obvious solution, but I didn’t even think about it being that kind of problem, since it worked in the other browsers and only IE threw a fit about it.

Anyway, thought it might be useful to someone else out there.

Restructured

Over the last week I have drastically restructured the blog. Aside from the theme change, the biggest difference now is in the projects. I have made static pages for each of my main projects that, in theory, will always have up to date info on them. All the projects are listed in the sidebar, as well as on the main projects and releases page. I’m hoping this will be a better way for visitors to find my different projects, and it will help me manage them since they are all controlled by the blog instead of running free on my webserver.

As always, share your thoughts if you have any.
