This is the second tutorial on importing fast forward stories videos into a WordPress based website that you've got administrative control or access to. As before, I'm going to log into this demo WordPress site. I've already followed the preliminary steps looking at other tutorial about WordPress preliminary set up. If you haven't, now I'm going to go to the import command where I've added the capability already to import WordPress formatted files. We send a file with the customers videos pre embedded along with short articles that we've written. The files look horrendously scary if you open them. This is a, this is a format called XML that spells out a bunch of structural details. WordPress understands this format. You're not expected to, so I wouldn't necessarily try editing that thing by hand, but if you've already added the WordPress import capability from that polit Minary tutorial, it's as simple as this.

I'm going to choose to file. I happen to know where that file is located. Looking for a file in this case called WordPress import or something like that. Yours may not be named exactly this, but it should be very clear which of the files we emailed you is a WordPress import file. I'm going to click upload and import. I'll probably get a couple of requests to assign these posts and we'll talk about posts in another tutorial to a user. You can assign them to yourself. If you're a user in WordPress, click submit and in a relatively few seconds I should see in this case 125 new posts added to this otherwise empty WordPress website. If I preview this one just as a sanity check, there's the video successfully embedded. This is our go home, uh, demo library. So short recap, run through the preliminaries is spelled out in the other tutorial.

Go to import, import the WordPress import file we sent you and that's really all it should take. Last note about these, the posts that we provide by default are set in draft mode. They won't all show up on your website immediately. You don't want them to, for SEO reasons. What you really want to do is jump into each post, edit it, rewrite it, add things to it, localize it, make it about your market and your expertise, and then switched this, the status of that post from draft status draft over here in the top right to publish by clicking the publish button. That's it. We'll talk a bit more about WordPress in the next tutorial.
