New auto-embedding features
LGF • Views: 28,388

There’s a new version of the LGF Pages posting bookmarklet tonight, with better support for automatically embedding video and SoundCloud audio from most websites — making it incredibly simple to add video and audio to your posts.

To install the new version in your browser, right-click on your existing bookmarklet (if you’ve already installed it) and choose “Delete,” then drag that big button at the top of the right column labeled “Create a Page” to your bookmarks bar in its place. You’ll notice when you open the new bookmarklet that it’s now at version 1.0.5.

Auto-embedding works by scanning the current page for embedded media and grabbing the first thing it finds; the LGF Pages window will open with the video embed code automatically filled in if the page contains media in one of these formats:

YouTube
Vimeo
Comedy Central
SoundCloud
Scribd

In addition, the latest version of the bookmarklet has special code to find embedded content at NPR (MP3 audio), Right Wing Watch and Media Matters.
