Wordpress has quite a few video blogging solutions if you are willing to dig them up, but Revver’s recent foray into WP plugins covers pretty much everything you might need to get started. The latest installment of the Tubetorial 7 Must Have Killer Plugins For Wordpress series covers getting this installed and what it can do for you.
While Revver isn’t my favorite video platform they have certainly added some very cool features since I last checked in on them, and hats must be duly taken off to them for being the first of the video bunch to create their own wordpress plugin. Smart move.
The plugin basically lets you search for, upload, post, track and check in on the revenues for a video right from your WP backend, further adding the capability for your viewers to leave video responses right from your blog, which is a pretty awesome set of features and goes way beyond anything else available at the time of writing this. While there might be some nice plugins and hacks out there that will do this stuff if cobbled together, Revver have come up with the goods in a single, nicely integrated little tool.
Check out the tute for yourself:

dear michael, i’m living/working in china and revver doesn’t work here. can you suggest another great plugin for videoblogging that is WordPress friendly? thanks for your great tutorials. mónica
Hey Monica, thanks for stopping by!
I haven’t tried this one myself, but I stumbled on SeeTheFace, which looks like a pretty cool solution. Bookmarking that one myself for future use.
If that doesn’t work out for you and you want to try a more technical approach, the guys at Galacticast have an awesome step-by-step tutorial on getting set up with a multi-format video show via wordpress - they’ve even made a theme.
ShowInABox is another awesome custom video blogging solution that takes a little bit more work, but makes for great results. They’ve even put a screencast together on how to get it up and running.
Hope that helps! Ping me any time if you need a hand.
I would like to see a continuation of the topic
