Video Promo for Kiva

I whipped this video up tonight while waiting for the PBS segment to air locally. Feel free to embed it on your MySpace, web sites, blogs, whatever. This clip isn't part of the upcoming YouTube contest by the way. I've created a KivaFriends YouTube channel though, which will probably have more of these little "webmercials" in the future.

Code:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>

Your video is awesome.  I'd like to add it to my My Space page but am not sure how!  Please advise me how to do this...I want to spread the word and eventually get involved.  I saw the program on PBS last night and was so amazed.

Right now I'm trying to get on my feet financially, but once there I will definitely be joining those who are already contributing.  I've sent emails to everyone I know and encouraged them to get involved to.

Namaste,
Dyalelah

Hi Dyalelah,
  To put a video in myspace, you need to log on (to myspace) and go to 'edit profile'.  You'll see a bunch of boxes that you can type in, 'about me', 'who I like to meet', 'interests', etc.

Choose one that you want your video to go in, and cut and paste one of the codes that Joe has above into the box. Make sure you hit 'save all changes' at the bottom.

And voila, it should be on your page.

There is probably a more sophisticated way of doing it.  But my way works!

Great video, Joe! I love the idea of "web commercials" and hope the YouTube contest produces plenty of these

Here's another quick one.



Embed code for blogs, MySpace, etc:

Code:

<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WaKPVq6dulY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WaKPVq6dulY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
