In reply to: Adding video with object embedthats not proper markup because you are using embed tags.
I know the embed tag is not valid anymore, but I believe some browsers still require it. Anyway if I take it out, the video doesn’t show up in Firefox. The markup I have is as proper as it gets. Unfortunately embedding video is still a messy area.
So apparently the editor “cleans up” the code. Why does it even do that? It’s great for the WYSIWYG part of the editor, but why can’t it just leave the “code” in the code tab alone?
The plugin link you gave me is another one of those plugins that simplify posting videos from YouTube etc. That’s not what I want to do here.

In reply to: Adding video with object embedwhooami, it’s always hard to guess which keywords to use to get the right results. Many of the posts on this subject have no answer anyway.
I shouldn’t have to turn off the editor for something as simple as this. Why is the object code wrong for the code tab? How is it not proper markup?
Here’s the full “code” that I’m trying to put in the post:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="352" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://website.com/video/flvplayer.swf?file=http://website.com/video/vids/movie.flv&autoStart=false;" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://website.com/video/flvplayer.swf?file=http://website.com/video/vids/movie.flv&autoStart=false;" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="352" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>I’ve done a little search on WP video plugins, but most seem to be for YouTube and crap that I don’t need. If there is a simple plugin that does what I need here, please someone let me know.

In reply to: Multiple BlogsI get this too again. I’ve forgot how I fixed it the last three times…
I’m currently rereading the readme.txt and the bug report page to prepare to ask a question about this…
Sigh

In reply to: How do I “call” a plugin?Nice suggestion NuclearMoose, but most plugin writers and other open source developers tend to use short-hand assuming everybody’s a coder. They just write ‘call the function’ and we have to figure it out from there and end up after too much wasted time at posts like this.

In reply to: Modifying Dashboard ContentI’ve managed to accomplish #1 by hacking the index.php file in the wp-admin directory. So, I no longer need assistance with that.
How exactly? I’m trying to figure this out as well…

In reply to: View user profilemoshu, I’ve just started using WordPress MU. I like it so far, but the forums and documentation are a mess.
Codex?! No, I haven’t thought about looking around in “the Codex”… WTF?

In reply to: WordPress Using Servers Email AddressApparently this topic was never resolved…
Users signing up get an email from “myusername@box142.hosting.com”. How can I replace that with name@mywebsite.com?
Following macmanx’s advise I contacted my hosting company. They sent me this unhelpfull reply:
You will need to modify the script (usually a configuration script) so that it uses your e-mail address sends the e-mail from myname@mywebsite.com
So which script should I modify how?
