 * I am a novice at PHP programming so I could be wrong about this, but line 21 
   of the readme file says:
 * * `[videopress xyz]` uses your default theme content_width if present, otherwise
   uses 400px as width.
 * However I can’t find anywhere in the plugin code where the content_width is set
   to 400px. This has caused me a problem because my default theme doesn’t make 
   use of content_width. For the time being, I am using the workaround that has 
   been described here:

 * Also I can’t get any of the height and width short code attributes to work either.
