Developer's Corner / Re: Embeding content on your web pages -- iframes vs native content?
« on: August 14, 2010, 01:46 AM »
Word Press has an embed iframe plug-in available that allows resizing.Using iframes to embed anything that you wish the search bots to read is fruitless unless you add your own content such as a review, outside the iframe .
Cacheing your content in gzip format in your database is always a good idea to save bandwidth.Again,WP has a plugin for that also.
Using php plugins for images, sound, or video ,whether streaming from sites like Youtube or your own site server simplifies things.I have used FLV Gallery,Next Generation Gallery,Fancy Box and Multibox..Resizing has never been much of a problem esp. with embed codes. For example, FLV Gallery allows presizing of a single video with subsequent videos displayed as thumbnails just like on Youtube,all with a simple shortcode in a page or post .If your intention is to use it for a sidebar or widget then the global presize maximum width is 300px.
