Hey vloggers.
I decided to take a look at what the SIAB gang has been up to so I installed the SIAB theme with the latest WordPress.
The first thing I wanted to do, before i really delve into the customizations and plugins that make up the SIAB package…. was to install the recently released SimplePie Feed Parser Plugin for WordPress.
The SIAB peeps use a plugin called ‘VideoPress Recent Videos’ and I believe it was customized to work with other SIAB related modifications and enhancements.
Some problems have been being worked on.
I thought that it might be easier to simply parse your own feed and display thumbnails of your latest video entries instead of trying to inject logical database queries revolving around multiple moving parts (related plugins, image locations etc.) Also, by using a feed to parse instead of local mysql queries… you can also display recent videos from other “shows” that might be on your blogroll or whatever.
So, to demonstrate this…. I revived an old project site that was collecting digidust and am now using videobloggers.org as a SIAB demo site.
Since I dont have any videos posted here or any content… I am using David Howell’s RSS Feed to demonstrate a little “Recent Videos” block in the footer of this theme using SimplePie.
Will discuss this in more detail soon.
