Customizing videos in Blogger - Part 3

In tutorial How to add a video in Blogger we've talked about the options of placing a video in our Blog...Them in Part 1 and Part 2, we've learned something about video customization, slideshows...
This time, I'll show you how to make a Video Gallery and set the video to Autoplay.

MAKING A VIDEO GALLERY
Video Gallery or Video Wall is a group of your favorite videos (personal or public ones) displayed in a gallery box with video thumbnails.

DailyMotion Video Wall
Dailymotion is a video hosting service website with great interface and features. You can share videos, create your channels...
Here's the example of the video wall created in Dailymotion:



...stylish. Anyway, the steps are:
► create an account with Dailymotion.com
► go to My Channel
► under Video Tools (left menu), select Create a Videowall

Options:
► choose a channel you'd like to display (public, or your personal..)
► you can adjust the size (rows, columns)
► autoplay. zooming, video titles, spacing...

Copy the provided code, and paste it into your Blog Post, or Sidebar/Footer using a HTML/JavaScript gadget from Add a Gadget (LAYOUT ► PAGE ELEMENTS)

....as simple as it gets...

BLINKX Video wall
Blinx is the world’s largest and most advanced video search engine. It's very intuitive. You'll figure it out in a second...Here's the example of the Video wall created in Blinkx:




..Steps:

► go to blinkx.com
► search for the videos of your interest
drag the videos into your playlist box (bottom left)
► when you're done (you can place 1 or 101 video - it doesn't matter), click on Wall it on the bottom of the box..
► copy the provided code, and paste it into your Blog Post (rather in HTML MODE, than COMPOSE)

Video wall will have a certain width and height....Just change it to fit your Blog post (refer to resizing videos in Part 1)

That's it...
