Hello Newgrounds; and, New Feature!

Posted by Rob - April 16th, 2008


Hello, Newgrounds! As you may know from reading Tom's post last month, I am the new PHP workhorse-in-residence at Newgrounds. I would like to thank the users for their well-wishes. Sorry I haven't been able to reply to anybody's messages, but I have been busy rolling out my first new feature: video embedding! You can now embed content from YouTube, Revver, Vimeo, or Gametrailers, with support for more sites coming in the future!

To embed a video, go to the page on youtube.com (or other supported site) and find the "embed text" - it should be in an obvious place on the page. Copy that text, then go to your Newgrounds blog. Click on the button that says "Embed Video" and paste the code in the field that pops up. Click OK, and a big chunk of ugly HTML will be pasted into your blog. Don't edit that code! If you do, it probably won't work, and you'll end up with all that nasty text in your blog. You can embed text wherever you want in the blog, and you can embed up to 20 videos.

To show off, I have embedded my own video below. In addition to being (for a few seconds, anyway) the only video embedded in a Newgrounds blog, it is also the only video shot by yours truly available on the web. I shot it on the 6 train in New York way back in 2002. I was participating in an event that has since become a famous annual prank. And yes, that book really says "Rape" on the cover.

Check out Improv Everywhere if you haven't before.

That's all for now. Hope you enjoy the new feature, and I look forward to creating more improvements in the future.

Yay thanks lots.

Oh and if it's possible, could you make it so that we can embed our own music playlist from <a href="http://www.playlist.com/">http://www.playlist.com/</a> That way users can listen to it while they're on their page.

Welcome to Newgrounds Rob!

Heh, that book really did say "rape".

not bad

would be better if the embeded video had a newgrounds skin to it instead of this shoddy gray one which is horrible.

also

Yoshi77777' idea for a playlist is a crap idea. Just put your own music on in your house. Do you know how annoying it is to click stop when music just randomly plays.

ho ho yes this' looking like myspace now great job

Awesome vid... Although you'd probs get arrested in london underground over here... and i live up north, so i'm hardly there anyway. Good luck with ng....

Seriouly nice.

haha awesome prank and great work dude!

Truth was here

its alright i guess.. i would rather have your songs / flash play on the first page in the profile.. but w/e ng is getting more and more features slowly...

well you have different admin picture rob.

Great addition!

Gotta love the reactions of that woman... Good prank :P

I sense abusing the feature coming shortly.

Oh awesome, great way to start you new job by putting a great feature.

This is horrific. Really horrible.

So time to update the video thread now?

Hello Rob.

Welcome to newgrounds.

Im sure we'll all get along.

:D

Hey Rob, I can't get the video thing to work. All it says is Blah.

Wow, you're actually real now!

Btw, you should get JohnnyUtah to do your icon instead. You don't fit in! :P
