I had recently been working with a client whose Video Content had been uploaded to Screencast.com.

Now, I had never worked with ScreenCast video content before… but, like most video “streamers”, there did not appear any real problems with working with such an organization… at least, within the WordPress construct.

Unfortunately, I soon ran into a slew of strange behaviors. Behaviors that I STILL do not quite understand. But, fortunately, I was able to determine the best way of embedding “Screencast.com” video content… laying most of my troubles at rest.

Yes, Site5 has released a new-and-improved version (2.0.2) of the popular WordPress Boldy Theme.

Site5 has now begun the honorable prospect of separating their Web Hosting tasks, from their WordPress Theme designing arm of the business… and this type of separation is a good thing. Let those that can “host”… host. For those that wish to “design”… then, design. It’s a win-win for many of us.
