Richard, thank you. Despite my having a more analytical mind, code is so Greek to me. This helps. -Coop

Wow, I am looking to move my blog to WordPress and had looked at Revolution today so this was a great find. Wonderful job. Hope you do another with embedding soundslides, videos, widgets and more. Great help, thank you

I should add that there will be a few portfolio-style templates appearing after I get back from the NCAA tournament.

I run a photography department in the midwest. Long story short, I started making magazine style WordPress templates for a few multimedia projects a while back. Lots of people asked for the source files, so I created a little side project which offers some paid and free Magazine-style wordpress templates:

More stuff is planned in the near future.

That’s great, Koci. Thanks for the intro–it will help me this summer when I start creating multimedia blogs for work and for personal / portfolio use. I hope that you continue this series. I’m very interested in adding slideshows, widgets, and videos. Keep it up! Glad you’re back!

Just another shout out about WP. Here at yakimaherald.com, I have been using wordpress mu to create and manage multiple blogs from one login. It's been very useful for creating blogs on the fly with customized and pre-made themes, especially when deadlines come crashing down and you need a quick Web site to display who-knows-what, right now. I used it two pull together three different sites in short order, for different needs, and they were all managed from one login, one install of plugins, one - just about everything. WPMU does take a bit more back-end setup but once it's up, it works pretty smoothly. Another shift in the WP community is that great theme builders are out there selling pretty much pre-built and nearly fully supported themes to fit most needs. MMS is using a modified version of the revolution theme, which can be purchased fairly inexpensively, and they usually take less programming knowledge to customize it. We took the revolution 'news' theme and customized it for the snovalleystar.com (weekly newspaper) in under two weeks. It launched today. We've got to the point where in the next couple months, nearly all of our blogs are going to be completely updated to utilize the latest plugins and publishing capabilities. A few wp sites that we launched and why they were successful: - snovalleystar.com (A fast, easy to manage, inexpensive publishing solution) - NW video workshop (Needed an easy to update site to provide workshop information, links and media to registrants.) - Going for the crown blog (Had about six hours to set up a blog for a reporter to cover Miss Washington in Vegas this year. The reporter had never blogged before and had about 30 min. training in WP before she took off.) The only problem with WP is spam... unless you use akismet as well as other anti-spam tools, you face the potential for lots of spam to cleanup. -TJ

yeah never underestimate joe, he always has something cool and useful up his sleeve. We use the same plug-ins, and we been running for two years on WP with about 100,000 + uniques a month with no problems.

Hey Richard, thanks for the nod to heraldleaderphoto in your tutorial!

Mize, we use the Kimili Flash plugin for WordPress as method of embedding Soundslides into the WordPress blog. Very easy. We’ve also devised a way (with the help of Joe Weiss) to get a pageview for each photo viewed in the Soundslides – that had always been a hurdle to overcome with our Interactive dept. That move alone instantly changed our pageview numbers more than 20x.

Also, I’ve embeded videos from at least four different hosts and have never had a problem, nor have I had to use any special plugins.

This tutorial has my shooters begging me to revamp our MM page. A lesson on how to embed Soundslides and video (SWF) projects is key to getting our IS department to allow us to rebuild our current site. We already use WordPress for internal blogs but those were set up for me by the IS dept on our server. Any and all help with embeds would be awesome. Thanks, Mize
