Day 137, part 2 – Youtube plugin test

I’ve been having a few problems with embedding Youtube videos on the blog.

They appear just fine, but when you go back, some weird additional coding has been added to each embed code, and the video no longer shows.

Just a big gap. Embarrassing.

So I’m trying out a plugin to assist me with this problem. Let’s see if it works.

If there is no Hans Zimmer/Alan Walker crossover video above, it hasn’t.
However… well, I guess you can work out the alternative.

That said, this problem never seems to manifest itself immediately. So let me revisit this in a few days time and see what’s going on.

Thanks for reading this far.

Day 63, Part 2 – Getting social

This is literally just a post to test a new way of connecting the blog to Twitter and to Facebook.

I’ll need to put some writing here, just to fill in a couple of gaps and make it look like a real blog post and to try and fool the magic robots that check on these things.

It might help to have an image in here too. I think I’ll use this one:

That’s a little yacht on the River Thames in London, taken in 2012.

And that should just about do it. Now let’s click the button and see if any of this has worked.

This is just a test post to test something out on the blog. You can ignore it if you wish, but after the recent Jacob Zuma art furore, I have put an arty picture in to make people look.

(Never fear, there is no spear):

This should cause thousands of people to bunk off work and walk to my gallery blog, hopefully subscribing and clicking on some adverts along their way.

(Hello Nicole. Did it work?)
