 * Hi Martijn
 * It all depends on your theme specifically as to where you’d add any code, your
   probably find its the header.php file that generates the header part of your 
   site but its not for sure it depend on how your themes developer structured the
   theme.
 * The best way to figure it out it inspect the source your site generates and then
   look in the template files for unique references ie. a html tag with a specific
   class or id.
 * As for a step by step google auto playing html video, video header tutorial, 
   the coding would be wordpress specific it would just be html.
 * Finally the best way is to look at other site theme that do what you want an 
   view their source to see how their doing it, in chrome or firefox you can right
   click and view element with will bring you the dev tools and let you see exactly
   which element corresponds with what bit of html.

 * Thank you very much for your reply. I am using the Moesia theme, so I will ask
   them where to put the code best.
