“Okay you didn’t say that one and I’m ad-libbing. But this is a volunteer support forum by people who honestly want to help.”

And your idea of help is to insult anyone who draws attention to the dire shortcomings of WordPress. That’s a nice attitude to have on a support forum towards someone who merely attacks a series fo zeroes and 1’s. Which is all WordPress is.
You are obviously very, very, VERY committed to your favourite bit of software.

I notice that notifications are not forthcoming. Is there a handy, timewasting, educational plugin for that too?
And while we’re on the subject of timewasting, what do I do to stop spam on WP, which are no trouble on any of my other blogs, but which infest WP like flies.

As I thought. WordPress wears a white coat and carries a clipboard.
I’m not interested in nerdery, I’m interested in getting the job done.

If only ‘learning’ and ‘work and effort’ were as straightforward as you imply. In reality, all ‘help’ is couched in impenetrable jargon which it is healthy to avoid.

So the Vimeo plugin allows me to upload the video to Vimeo (where it came from in the frist place) and then paste the HTML back into the WP frame. Is that how it works? Why is that any better than simply grabbing the HTML and pasting it.

Your commitment to make 2 jobs out of one says a lot for your work ethic, but not much else.

Notice the difference?
If I was to ‘go Pro’ would I get better results?
