WordPress Video and Voting

Another Friday, another fun day here at WordPress.com. We’ve put together a new feature for you guys to play with: WordPress Video.

Here’s our intro video: (Thanks to Glenda for filming.)

Hopefully you can make much better video than we can. 🙂

Now if you have a paid space upgrade you can upload video to WordPress.com and we’ll convert it to flash and put it in a cool little player, just like Youtube but with higher quality. Of course you can still use any of the many video services we support, this is just a little more integrated, which was a very common request you guys have made.

This is a “beta” launch so it’s only available to those with a paid space upgrade and there are still a few features that we haven’t gotten in yet. If you’d like more technical details about how to use it, check out our FAQ. If you’d like to upgrade your blog to get more space and try out this feature, you can do so for as cheap as a nickel a day, just click “Upgrades” on your dashboard.

If you make something cool, be sure to let us know in the comments. We’d love to highlight the best stuff. We’ve set the bar pretty low to start.

Finally, if you have 5 seconds be sure to vote for WordPress in the Webware awards:
