Can One Resize Videos for Display?
Or is that an option that the original editors/producers of the vid have to create? I'm remembering that horrible moment that I had to take down
Paris Hilton's brilliant vid that "satirized" McCain.
I wish that those who release vids on the web would remember that the main column in a blog is only so large, and create a smallish one that can be embedded without creating havoc.

I don't do these things but there are numbers in the embedding code that relate to the size. Change the numbers to ones that work (from one you've used successfully before) and problem solved.

For example in your Shivaree video--Make sure you take care of the one at the end(true width, height)

If the numbers are 425 x 344, the Shivaree one is correct--but I could use those number to re=post the Paris vid (double-checking, of course, that it uses standard proportions).
Is one of the Shivaree vids still not displaying properly?

Funnest Spam Attack Yet.
Over 300 spam comments this time.
I keep thinking of the Kinks line about rock 'n' roll: "This might turn into a steady job."
Yeah, well. It's certainly steady . . .

Light Blogging, Next 24 Hours.
But after that, the Siggraph coverage starts, which should be fun. (At least, it will be for me!)

Site's Back Up.
I think.
Darrell:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/attila/public_html/index.php on line 306
When I open your site on IE7 or Firefox, I get this message. And the page won't load. Is that what you were going for?
I never know when to expect performance art.
Well, I sure couldn't figure it out. I simply assumed someone had made a voodoo doll out of my main page, and was sticking pins in it somewhere. Now, however, he/she has apparently gone to sleep.

You can't keep a good woman down!
And what's with that T_String? Is it really THAT hot in Glendale? It certainly was unexpected. But appreciated.

Please note that (1) the problematic non-html was, indeed, in one of my posts--just typing too fast, I'm afraid, and
(2) the fabulous Pixy Misa found and fixed the problem.

My Blog Angst
Right now, it appears that for some browsers, the main page is down—but
not individual entry pages. So, if you're one of my half-dozen readers [
], I'd recommend that you simply use the navigational thingie to scroll through entries, rather than try to get to that elusive main page.

It's back. And you expect us to memorize the individual entries(URLs)? You expect a lot, even from the six most influential people in America.

Indeed, sir, I concur most fervently.
Except for the America part, of course...

I Broke My Glasses.
So they sort of hurt--the little nose-piece is gone, and they dig into my nose.
I therefore intend to take the rest of the night off from the computer, and go back to the actual book I'm reading, which I can do without my glasses if I just hold it exactly the right distance from my face.
One must admit . . . when the light is decent and the type size is reasonable, there's nothing to compare with dead tree for readin'.
All is well here. I'll be back soon. Check out the juicy blogs on my delectable sidebar.
And don't forget to enjoy the summertime! Eat a peach, or a popsicle. Get some Vitamin D. Go swimming. Make love with your sweetie.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, D--perhaps you could clarify . . .?

Light Blogging Continues.
I'm swamped by real-life obligations right now; that's good for me, but not so good for those of you who have come to depend upon my trenchant analyses, irreverent sense of humor, and feminine pulchritude.
If I can clear my desk I'll be blogging later in the day.
