Yo, Barry--

I've found some videos that I'd like to post for the entertainment and/or enlightenment of Waccobites, but am unclear about what section to post them in. I guess if a video were part of a response to some existing thread, it would go there, right? But otherwise, would they go in WaccoReader like written-word stuff? Or are you gonna create a WaccoVideo section? Also, I recently produced a 5-minute documentary which is funny and enlightening. Since it's written/produced by me, would it go in the Prose and Poetry section, or...?

Videos should be posted according to the same guidelines as text. I'm open to the notion of a video section if people think that would be helpful.

Please send me your video. Perhaps it is suitable for an article!

It has come to my attention that the embedded videos (where the video is displayed inside the post), that are then sent out in the digest, do not display in some email readers. To embed a video, it is best to use our video tool (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/ImagesforMembers/VideoToolIcon.png) and then paste in the URL of the page on Youtube (or other video services) into the dialog it presents. To ensure that the video is still accessable to email readers that can't display the embedded video, please always include the link (the URL of the page) directly in the post as well.
