learn wordpress now – how to blog!

Posts Tagged ‘wordpress video’

WordPress version 2.5 has received a lot of press around the blogosphere, not always very positive.

However, I’ve just upgraded this blog to 2.5 and it seems to have gone very smoothly. All my posts and pages survived and I have successfully reactivated all my plugins. So far so good.

As you can see, I’ve made the start of this post red(!) which is one of the new features in the Visual tab. But another welcome addition is the ability to add media files.

You can now easily add video, audio and other media to your posts and pages.  And your videos don’t have to be played via Youtube (although you can if you want) – you can upload a video to WordPress and embed it into a post or page. I’ve played around with this and it works fine.
