New Vimeo Account

I setup a Vimeo Pro account tonight. At $59.95 it is not exactly cheap. But uploading to my webserver is not really ideal due to the amount of space HD content could possibly take up over time. I looked around at two other HD capable video sharing sites and Vimeo is the best. I have not liked YouTube for a long time now. The YouTube compression sucks in my opinion. Even on their HD content.

If you are into RSS my Vimeo RSS is http://vimeo.com/houseofhusar/videos/rss

If you want to bookmark my Vimeo home page use http://vimeo.com/houseofhusar

Also, any videos I add to the blog here will now show up in the side bar. The location of that might change but it will be Latest Videos so look for it.

I was able to find a awesome Vimeo plugin called Vimeo for WordPress. Once activated it put a new menu box in your Add New Post screen in WordPress. This menu lets you select your Vimeo videos with a drop down to embed embed them. You can also select your videos from your Vimeo friends. Another option is the use a URL from the Vimeo site. I don’t have to cut and paste the embed code from the Vimeo site now. I just upload to Vimeo then select the title from a drop down. Much easier

Here is a screen shot of what shows up in WordPress.
