My First Gig

[EHiatt121]

As some of you know I just started doing Internet Marketing and building webpages back in the Spring.

Well today I got my first website building gig. Its a site for my step-daughters baton twirling team. Its pretty much set up, just with filler content right now. I did the work for free, just asked to get any ad revenue.

Nice one Eric, did you do the YouTube video as well?

I build quite a few WP sites for clients, just don't tell them how easy it really is

ya i put that video together real quick as an example. BTW whats the code for embedding a video that is stored on your computer?

Normally to embed a video, I'm guessing it's in Flash format, you first upload it to your server somewhere then embed this code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
 width="550" height="225">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.FILELOCATION/FILENAME.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="true" />
<EMBED src="http://www.FILELOCATION/FILENAME.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="225" NAME="yourmovie" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>

You need to edit the file width and height, etc. but this is fairly standard.

WP can do a lot of the work for you by using the embed media function, or use one of the Flash plugins, like Bubblecast, to do the hard work for you
