This tutorial is going to cover some of the essential ideas involved in a WordPress website, in posts and pages and video embedded and used in those posts and pages. If your putting video content on your site for fast forward stories possibly from other sources, um, you should find this hopefully useful and non technical base requirement gotta be able to get into the site. So I'm logging into this demo WordPress site in a previous tutorial and had already imported a set of posts, 125 of them in this case from an import file that we provide. We do that for all our subscribers in WordPress admin mode. When you're editing posts or pages, one of the key things to keep an eye on is the, the edit mode that you're in. On that webpage there's a little tab that says visual, another one that says text, at least in this version of WordPress.

Um, visual is friendly and it will make your life miserable if you try and use it with video because the job of the visual interface is to act a bit like a graphical user interface or GUI. If I say I want to turn those bold, I'm not going to see the codes to make it bold. If I jumped back into text mode, I do see the underlying HTML code that takes care of that formatting. General rule for working with video, you're going to be in text mode, show that WordPress doesn't try and interpret what you're putting in there as formatting and leaves it alone to the extent possible. In this imported article plus video, there's a bunch of text at the top and in visual mode. Here you see the actual video from this demo library down below, you look in text mode. It doesn't look quite like that.

Here's the article plus formatting codes. As I pointed out, this single line here is actually all the instruction required on this WordPress site to bring that video in to the bottom of the page. That's because we installed the Wistia WordPress plugin. You can see that in the set up tutorial on WordPress and then this is a different demo library, but you have access to embed and share. We used this Oh, in bed, which is a, a format designed, I think originally for WordPress. WordPress used to tend to a monkey with complicated in bed codes. So this simple embed code basically tells WordPress, go get the rest of the info that you need from Wistia. It's certainly easier to manage a one liner like that and to manage the more, uh, Beasley embed codes that you can start to generate if you play with parameters too much.

So that's it. That single line makes this video in this post, we really, really, really, really encourage people to rewrite these or delete them and start over and say what they've got to say about PMI and loans and loan evaluations and everything else. You want unique text. That's your contribution there because that's what the search engines read to figure out what the video is about. So this is a post, this is a post with an article at the top and an O embed embed code at the bottom to bring in the video. The reason the O embed embed code works is because we've already installed the Wistia WordPress plugin on this site. If you didn't get a WordPress import file from us, you could create your own post title. It have something to say. And here's the trick shot. Go to a line by itself, hit return a couple of times. Make sure you were in text mode, not in visual mode. Grab that. Oh, embed, embed code, copy it, paste it. And that's all it should be required to pull that video into that post. That's it. We're trying to keep these short. See ya.
