    Scratch

    Glow Blogs now support the embedding of scratch, just paste in the URL to a project.

     

     

    Here is a gif showing how I added this. It is so quick you don’t see the URL I paste in.

    Scratch is becoming more popular in Scottish classrooms all the time, now glow users can display their projects on their blogs.

    Glow blogs are now using WordPress 4.5.3

  • Video Test

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

    Standard WordPress

     

    Sway

  • 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.
