    You can see a demo of that widget in action on my blog.
    I highly recommend it. It's visible but not intrusive and only takes up very little room.

    I see a video in your post at the bottom. You mean the widget is not working?

    I just copy the embed code that is associated with the youtube video and copy it in my blog.

    Sometimes You Tube videos stall out. They don't always load quickly or properly.
    Make sure that you have ALL of the code, sometimes the "copy" will leave off the last digit or 2.

    Here are some plugins for those who want to enrich their blogs:


    SeeTheFace Video Blog Plugin
    transforms your text blog into a video blog. Utilizing SeeTheFace flash based A/V recorder application it allows you to record your A/V messages using your web camera and microphone and publish on your blog straight away.


    BroadcastYourself
    is a really simple and XHTML valid way to embed any flash videos into your posts using [video] and [/video].

    MyTube is a wordpress plugin that allows you to have a youtube gallery in a post or page. You also have the ability to display random thumbnails in your sidebar etc. You can embed a specific video in your post or page without having to write the html for the flash viewer.

    I hope they'll be of help to all the bloggers on this forum.

    nice tools Sir_round. If you have any other ones up your sleeve, don't hide them for yourself. :)
