  • Video Test

    The same very small (375kb) video uploaded directly to a blog and to a sway.

    Standard WordPress

  • Sway Video

    Will this work?

    Yup, what I did was make a Sway, it only has a Title Card and a Video Card. I uploaded a mpg4 to the video card of around 100mb.

    I made the sway public.

    I pasted the url of the sway into the blog editor on a line by itself.

    This is a bit of a kludge but it allows you to post video of over 50mb and embed it in a Glow Blog. It could be useful if you do not have access to a public video repository.

    in my first try it looks like, in this browser (Safari, mac) the video is playing using Flash.

  • Mobile Photos

  • YouTube Embed

    You need to have activated Jetpack plugin and shortcode module if you are pasting in iframe embed code.

  • YouTube No Related Videos

    If you do not want related videos shown at the end of your video, you add ?rel=0 after the url before pasting it in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2wrYBPLsxg?rel=0

    You can see the url I pasted in as an example as it is not on a line by itself. The video was added by pasting the url with ?rel=0 on a line by itself.

    On twitter Craig Wilson asked about embedding Adobe slates. I just grabbed the code from an old one to test. It is not really an embed. It is just an image with a link. It works fine here in glow blogs. You need to switch to the text editor to paste in the html.

    Ive not checked to se if Adobe have updated to use oEmbed.

  • Multiple image uploads on iOS

    It is now possible to upload multiple photos on iOS using Mobile Safari to Glow Blogs. I am not sure when this change happened and if it is due to upgrades to iOS/Safari or the recent WordPress upgrade on Glow Blogs.

    Here is a gallery uploaded from my iPad.

    And here is another one showing the steps taken to produce the one above.
