Okay, well nevermind. I just decided to not move my blog after reading more reviews of GoDaddy. They seem great for static HTML sites, but a little sketchy for anything involving databases.

FYI for others who happen upon this thread: Their version of PHPMyAdmin does not have a “browse” button for pointing to your locally saved .sql file. It will prevent you from uploading.

Try another hosting company.

Thanks for the advice. I should have tried using godaddy as a search term first.

Also, I am actually switching from Web host to another, so I’m leaving my “live” site up and working on the dev site at godaddy. I’ll repoint the DNS only when I get it all up and running…

Thanks… That is an amazing set of documentation you’ve made available.

Part of my current problem is that PHPMyAdmin is unavailable, because the site’s control panel went non-responsive after uninstalling PHP 4 to prepare to install PHP 5. As a result, I’m shut out.

I was hoping I could use FTP to just grab the database all in one chunk, then upload it elsewhere.

I think I’ll wait and see what the hosting company’s support people say about the crashing control panel, then come back if I can’t use the advice you’ve given. Thanks a million.

Okay, not that anyone’s reading, but nevermind. I uploaded the video to YouTube and by streaming from there, the Extreme Video plug-in works great from all browsers and on all platforms.

I fixed the XML parsing error in Firefox by, I believe by correcting a typo in the plugin’s php file.

This tag:

(img src='”.QT_IMAGELOGO.”‘style=’border:0px’ alt=’Quick Time Logo’/)

appears to need a space after IMAGELOGO.”‘ and before style:

(img src='”.QT_IMAGELOGO.”‘ style=’border:0px’ alt=’Quick Time Logo’/)

Inserting it solves the Firefox XML parse problem, but now the video ONLY loads in Safari on OSX. So odd.

Again, I cry, why must it be so difficult to embed video. Lots of people want to be able to do this and only YouTube seems capable of it.

Of course, I am evidently crying into a vacuum. Perhaps I should sign the voices in my head up for an account on WordPress forums. Then we could chat.

Has anyone come up with a plug-in or code that will allow you to embed your own video, served from your own site, which will work in Firefox, IE, Safari, and Netscape?

Would love to see this implemented to learn from it, and hear how you did it.

Ack, in addition to the Firefox problem, it appears the video does not load in IE on XP.

Again, if anyone could send me a link to a site which has implemented this plug-in, I’d be very grateful to see proof of operation.

Short of linking to an html page with separate links for each browser, there really is no clean code to stream embedded video from WP, is there?

Is anyone else using this plug-in?

I have restored all settings to the original, so I can’t be causing the problem. I think it’s a bug in the code and I’d love to look at someone else’s page who’s using this plug-in with Firefox and a QuickTime file. I don’t think it works right.

This feed is lovely, but I’m failing entirely to see how the “photo” box in the sidebar is managed? I have Photopress plug-in installed, but evidently there’s another plug in required to manage categories and images that appear here?

Yes, I am very new to all of this:

Agreed. You can’t link inline as with other themes unless you delete #content h3 span specification entirely from the css …

I believe the creator’s web site explains this, but it’s in German, so I can’t say for sure.

This theme is the greatest.

iimage gallery is exactly what I need, except it doesn’t work…

I have pasted the test code from the developer’s web page in to my page and it returns an error.
