Tired of trying to get the kml flashembed plugin to work and not wanting the standard, pop up window anymore, I decided to figure out a low-tech way to embed Camtasia style screencast videos into a blog post.

Make your screencast in the normal way and upload it to your server. You’ll end up with something like:

http://stepbystepblog.com/howto/video/BasicInstallPlugin/BasicInstallPlugin.html

As the address of the video. Then go to code view, in WordPress for your post that you want the video to show up in and add this:

<iframe width=”430″ height=”500″ FRAMEBORDER=”0″ SCROLLING=”NO”

src=”http://stepbystepblog.com/howto/video/BasicInstallPlugin/BasicInstallPlugin.html“></iframe>

Just swap out the URL in the example with your actual video and tweak the size to fit the size of your video and size of your blog page width and you’re in business.
