Hi guys,
Great post Linda! Thanks for that.

One more thing. And this is important. You're using WordPress so you need a plugin to get the video's text link to work properly. You can get full details here:

"If you are having problems using the videos on a Word Press Blog (WP will sometimes rewrite the javascript code so the links don’t work) here is a plug-in that should solve the problem:
TextControl - WordPress Plugin Repository - Trac
How To Use the Text Control Plug In for Affiliate Video Links:
1. Download the Text Control Plug-in. Unzip it, and upload contents to the plug-ins folder of Word Press.
2. Activate the plug-in. From now on, you will have the option to turn off formatting and character encoding on individual blog entries. This option will only appear AFTER you save the blog entry and go back in to edit it.
3. Be sure to create the blog post with visual editor turned off. You can check or uncheck this under your user profile tab.
4. Save your blog entry without the video and go back in to edit the post.
5. Under Text Control, choose "No Formatting" from the left drop-down and "No Character Encoding" from the right drop down.
6. Save the blog entry again and it "should" work."
Hope this helps. (I'm off to sleep - it's late over here!).
