Like online interactive classes to me.
Interesting, helpful, and amazing!!
January 17, 2009 at 7:05 am |
True. true. love it!
January 17, 2009 at 7:15 am |
Looks really promising. This can be very good, I will check it out in the next couple of weeks.
January 17, 2009 at 7:37 am |
What a great job you are doing!
Video rocks!!
January 17, 2009 at 8:00 am |
In Sri Lanka we say ‘Ela Kiri’. Great job people…
January 17, 2009 at 8:51 am |
Great idea. Can’t wait to see all the WordCamp videos on here
January 17, 2009 at 9:14 am |
Lovely channel!
In Indonesian we said : Bagus Sekali!
January 17, 2009 at 10:00 am |
Great ideea for the ones who are just starting this blogging stuff. I can’t wait to see more and more of this kind of tutorials
January 17, 2009 at 10:34 am |
Awesome videos guys! I’m excited to see where this will go. I’m also curious about the video player you’re using. Which one is it and is it possible for me to use it on my own site?
January 17, 2009 at 10:55 am |
Thanks everyone!
@Charlie – the video player is a feature available on WordPress.com for people with the space upgrade at the moment (but embeds in .org blogs). We open sourced the entire video set-up though, too and I’m sure you’ll see more of it in the near future
January 17, 2009 at 10:44 am |
Wonderful idea. I hope to see some nice tutorials and stuff.
January 17, 2009 at 10:47 am |
freaking awesome.
January 17, 2009 at 11:15 am |
Congratulations on the site, its a very nice idea to gatther all the videos in one site
January 17, 2009 at 1:03 pm |
Great “ad”, feels like Fallout.
I hope to see a lot of great vids showing some tweeking and playing around with WordPress that aren’t that ordinary.
January 17, 2009 at 1:04 pm |
Congrats all! It will be interesting to see how this develops and how much interaction is generated with the users…
January 17, 2009 at 1:06 pm |
Looking great, i think this is gonna be brilliant for new users or to introduce users to wordpress.
January 17, 2009 at 1:44 pm |
Great! I will be visiting here often.
January 17, 2009 at 2:14 pm |
Awesome! Look forward to spending some time on here. Make sure you cater for the advanced users as well, as the chances are that the obsessives, the people that will keep coming back and back, will be people that wont want to see the superbasic stuff.
Peace out!
January 17, 2009 at 2:19 pm |
Awesome and great videos, new bloggers will definitely find it useful as well as the experience ones. Am looking forward to more great videos.
January 17, 2009 at 2:55 pm |
Simply amazing… good job guys!
January 17, 2009 at 3:06 pm |
Thanks, that´s a great feature for learning by doing.
January 17, 2009 at 3:28 pm |
Thank you for the gift. Looking forward to the new tool.
January 17, 2009 at 3:33 pm |
Interactive!!!
January 17, 2009 at 3:57 pm |
Love the idea! This is going to be great!
January 17, 2009 at 4:08 pm |
Excellent – effective – smart – AWESOME!
January 17, 2009 at 4:36 pm |
Looking good! Good luck on the new site!
January 17, 2009 at 4:54 pm |
Bunlar çok güzel fikirler.ama neden türkçe değil!…;)
January 17, 2009 at 4:54 pm |
En azından türkçe bir açıklaması olabilirdi
January 17, 2009 at 5:14 pm |
Thank’s for your videos !
January 17, 2009 at 6:35 pm |
Great job .. been waiting for this..
January 17, 2009 at 7:23 pm |
A very exciting evolutionary step for WP. Thank you and congratulations.
January 17, 2009 at 7:26 pm |
Sweet.
January 17, 2009 at 7:59 pm |
Yes! Yes! Yes!
“I’m waiting, I’m waiting for you…”
January 17, 2009 at 8:01 pm |
Great idea! I see a lot more of this sort of thing happening for all kinds of apps in 2009.
January 17, 2009 at 8:22 pm |
I am having trouble embedding videos from this site into my WordPress.com (using the tag they provide under the ‘Embed’ tab) – Anybody else having this issue?
January 18, 2009 at 5:22 am |
Hi John – for WordPress.com blogs make sure you copy the “shortcode”, the shorter of the two strings. The generic embed works for self hosted blogs or websites
January 17, 2009 at 8:54 pm |
Neato! Why didn’t you think of this before?
January 17, 2009 at 9:13 pm |
Congrats WordPress! This video tutorial website will be awesome, especially for newbies. Question, will you open up to others contributing?
January 17, 2009 at 10:01 pm |
HOW BIG IS THAT?!!? Love it! Well done lads.
January 17, 2009 at 10:15 pm |
Great stuff, well done Michael! can’t wait to use the player.
January 17, 2009 at 11:07 pm |
Sweetness
January 17, 2009 at 11:12 pm |
Very Cool! Thanks for the work.
January 17, 2009 at 11:18 pm |
Any chance of being able to subscribe to WordPress.tv through Miro or similar video-podcast catchers?
Maybe just a feed of new videos added?
January 20, 2009 at 6:10 am |
Hi John – working on making this happen ASAP
January 18, 2009 at 12:11 am |
Very nice.. brilliant ideas. very proggresive-wordpress.
January 18, 2009 at 1:05 am |
This is a wonderful smart idea and love how it is presented! Hoping to see this videos on iTunes as video-podcasts… nothing brightens a treadmill workout than to watch some useful stuff.
January 18, 2009 at 1:43 am |
Very cool. Thanks.
January 18, 2009 at 3:57 am |
Way too awesome. Maybe now I will have an easier time with WordPress template tags and themes yippeee!
January 18, 2009 at 5:28 am |
Perfect timing. This is going to be so helpful.
I’m wondering though … with all the continual updates with WordPress will you be changing video’s as quickly, so we’re not confused by missing items in older video’s?
Seems that’s a lot of video updating since WordPress is constantly evolving?
Thanks for putting this together,
Mark
January 20, 2009 at 6:12 am |
Hi Mark -
Between our users and the full-time video production antics going on here we should have you covered. Luckily the next couple of updates will be significantly less *huge* than the shift from 2.6 to 2.7
January 18, 2009 at 5:29 am |
Thanks for all the great comments and feedback everyone – we’re taking notes
@Vincent – can’t wait to see it!
January 18, 2009 at 6:06 am |
cool online video resources.
January 18, 2009 at 6:27 am |
There’s still a whole lot of people out there who haven’t of WordPress trust me. This is one great way to introduce WordPress to them.
January 18, 2009 at 7:25 am |
Excellent initiative and a great idea, Éxitos!
January 18, 2009 at 8:39 am |
welcome wordpress.tv letme see video and now i dont know what the real concept but look cool may be you make like youtube cheer
January 18, 2009 at 9:45 am |
Excellent. Looking forward to seeing some advanced tips as well.
January 18, 2009 at 10:05 am |
Here is hoping that it will help all bloggers out. Im not a veteran neither a beginner. Im in between. So this new site you guys have has potential. Maybe a good idea is to post a permanent link on both the wordpress.com and org sites. On the home. So just in case we need reference, we all could easily find where to go to for help. Can we get more ideas from others? Ciao.
January 18, 2009 at 12:09 pm |
really cool
January 18, 2009 at 12:29 pm |
Fantastic news, I find video so much easier to take in that a whole page of text. This is a great idea and good for spreading the awareness of WordPress.
January 18, 2009 at 12:32 pm |
Well done
Good luck in the future!
January 18, 2009 at 12:48 pm |
Cool idea Matt! I use WordPress on many of my sites, I wonder what’s the next big thing you can offer the world this year
Keep it up!
January 18, 2009 at 3:45 pm |
Whooo hooo I am a much more visual learner this will be my new BFF. Thank you 100 times.
January 18, 2009 at 3:51 pm |
Thanx for the resource. Will use it to the max!
January 18, 2009 at 4:02 pm |
Thank you, let me see if this old brain can keep up.
January 18, 2009 at 7:00 pm |
Pretty cool idea! WordPress TV is great, keep going on
January 18, 2009 at 9:16 pm |
This sounds absolutely great for a beginner, like me! I have yet to check out more than this first link explored, but it looks like this will lead me through some processes in WordPress that I have questions about. Thank you so much for your impressive efforts!
January 18, 2009 at 9:18 pm |
Make that “IMPRESSIVE” efforts! That’s because they are appreciated.
January 18, 2009 at 9:20 pm |
Yeah! I can propose you some tutorials in french in a while! I use many wordpress and worpress MU all around for different projects and I just plan to make tuto in french for my publishers. We can use also something like seesmic to get back peoples videos reaction…
Good job… see you soon
January 19, 2009 at 5:36 am |
Look forward to it, Christophe!
January 18, 2009 at 11:08 pm |
Any chance of some more advanced stuff?
January 19, 2009 at 5:34 am |
We’ll be adding some more advanced content soon
January 19, 2009 at 12:10 am |
Excelente trabajo.Ademas, inspirador.Sin duda la evolucion de manuales, foros e instrucciones. Great job guys!
January 19, 2009 at 12:16 am |
What is this video player you guys are using? I like.
January 19, 2009 at 5:33 am |
Glad you like it, Sarah. It’s the WordPress.com video player, which is at present available to anyone with a WordPress.com account and the Space upgrade (although it can be embedded in self-hosted WordPress blogs, or anywhere else, too)
January 19, 2009 at 12:27 am |
Woohoo! This is going to be very helpful to all in some way. Thumbs Up! |o/ For WordPress TV! 8)
January 19, 2009 at 1:41 am |
Great idea, as always we got from you great team..thanks.
January 19, 2009 at 5:59 am |
3 cheers for WordPress….Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!
January 19, 2009 at 6:00 am |
cool
January 19, 2009 at 8:13 am |
This Network Worldpress.com and .org is number one in popularity and now it is the most powerful network. I noticed tonight that wordpress.org has updated my php on wordpress.org I now have widgets as well as pugins which means more tools to work with, you are awesome, polite, funny, sometime light harted, in your approach to clients wow you have come a long way thank you for this I really feel I belong.

January 20, 2009 at 5:10 am |
wow not bad guys, was really fun watching videos of SF 08 now my parents know that buying my ticket to SF at the last minute for 600 bucks to fly from nyc to sf was worth it, i liked how your guys organized the site, very nice and clean,
whats funny and is i missed wp nyc, but i came all the way to sf
love you guys keep up the good work
January 20, 2009 at 10:07 am |
FINALLY! This is just so good! You guys do rock, no doubt about that! Thanks!
January 20, 2009 at 10:43 am |
I just don’t know what to say !! You, The Word Press Team are AMAZING !! You have changed the world of many thousands of Web Designers/Developers.
Thank You VERY MUCH.
January 20, 2009 at 9:49 pm |
This is great I think WP is one of the most forward thinking online companies in a long time, glad to see them again pick up on a huge idea that has yet to hit mainstream…… the .TV extension!
January 21, 2009 at 7:17 am |
Way To Go, WordPress Team! (banana_rock) *sorry for using plurk expression*
January 21, 2009 at 10:47 am |
These tutorials are great! I love what you have done with these. Should be quite helpful for new users. Thanks!
January 22, 2009 at 5:30 pm |
Awesome… (Is that an Aussie accent I hear in the voiceover?).
January 22, 2009 at 5:36 pm |
Thanks jomar. It’s the Universal Accent TM. South Africans and even Dutch people have claimed it as their own. I’m actually a brit, but grew up in a surf town, and eat my fair share of aussie beef here in Japan, so that must have done it I reckon
January 22, 2009 at 5:57 pm |
Excellent resource, thanks WP team.
What did you use to record the video?
January 22, 2009 at 6:05 pm |
Thanks, Ron. I use a mac-based workflow = ScreenFlow for screencasting, Adobe After Effects & a dash of Illustrator/Photoshop for post-production/animation, Final Cut Pro for editing, and Soundtrack Pro/Ableton Live for audio
January 22, 2009 at 6:15 pm |
Oh, that’s all?
Seriously though, looks great. Thanks Michael for the quick response!
January 22, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Haha, thanks Ron. Yes, I have a bit of convoluted workflow
But for screencasting ScreenFlow is great on a mac – kind of the equivalent of Camtasia for Windows, a nice all in one package.
January 22, 2009 at 6:38 pm |
If it works, that is all that matters Michael.
I work for a community college and I am interested in the screencasts on a .tv domain concept to help with our professional development efforts. We use a host for our LAMP/WP needs and storage is always a concern. What is the typical size of a video?
January 22, 2009 at 6:48 pm |
You can compress 720p HD down to as little 13-15MB for something running a couple of minutes – and if your source content is smaller than that, you can get it a fair bit lower again. h.264 is the codec of choice for a good balance between quality and small file sizes. Not bad when you consider that masters can run to 5GB and beyond.
I’ll be posting some hints and tips on this type of thing on the WordPress.tv blog if that helps. Sounds like an interesting project!
January 22, 2009 at 6:53 pm |
Looking forward to it Michael, thanks!
January 22, 2009 at 9:47 pm |
Thanks WordPress team… great idea and resource… I’ll be watching for future vids…
Cheers,
January 22, 2009 at 10:27 pm |
Muito bom ! Parabéns pela iniciativa !
January 22, 2009 at 11:19 pm |
Ahlan, Great ideea. Pinter banget
January 23, 2009 at 3:44 am |
Cool idea. Looking forward to the tutorials. Nice to have everything in one spot.
January 23, 2009 at 9:11 am |
Is this happening for bbpress?
Is bbpress going to become a one-click install into WordPress the way Agora is a one-click forum integration & install into Joomla? (As an option, as well as of course remaining a stand-alone).
Is there going to be a “full” install of bbpress, with all the major “normal” features already installed in the core, just like SMF, mybb, phpbb3…. etc?
Ease of installation (either 1 click WordPress integration install or 1 click Fantastico install)
+ ease of theme integration (only having to theme the WordPress blog with the bbpress board going straight in “under” the WordPress heading)
+ ease of setup (not having to install 20 plug ins that we take for granted in other forums)
+ easy to access theme directory from within bbpress
+ ease of upgrading (like the wordpress)
= a bulletin board that will KILL the market!
I love the direction WordPress is heading in, and hope bbpress can catch it soon.
January 23, 2009 at 5:41 pm |
Fantastic.

waow super idea great job!I congratulatine for super idea (:
January 25, 2009 at 7:48 pm |
Bravo. This is great since I stopped reading the interwebs.
January 27, 2009 at 5:48 am |
Nice idea!
January 27, 2009 at 5:12 pm |
Wooww … Great
February 5, 2009 at 11:47 pm |
This is very good use of the tv domain name. How about enabling all video related posts to feature on wordpress.tv?
March 6, 2009 at 7:30 am |
Looks great!
Where do I get a theme like this????
Thanks for help!
March 6, 2009 at 2:53 pm |
Thanks, I’ll be sure to let the designer know
The theme isn’t available at the moment – it’s a custom WordPress.com design. You can find some nice GPL-licensed (but not free as in beer) video themes at Press75 though with a similar approach and emphasis on video.
March 19, 2009 at 3:19 am |
Tanks:):):)
April 12, 2009 at 11:14 am |
The idea is great..keep going on
May 21, 2009 at 6:56 am |
Is very cool.
June 16, 2009 at 8:32 pm |
Very good.
August 18, 2009 at 9:09 pm |
I’m sure you are going to help a lot of people out with this.
An excellent idea, wich results wil be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
September 25, 2009 at 11:13 pm |
I have a wordpress site it’s set up for members, Can I use wordpressTV for the members to upload videos and it show up in the wordpressTV Player on my wordpress site?
Thank You
September 28, 2009 at 3:25 am |
What you’re looking for is our upgrade service, VideoPress. That service will give you the ability to upload from any one of a number of file formats (and sizes!) and uses the player you see in use here on WordPress.tv.
October 29, 2009 at 8:24 pm |
I’m still new to WordPress… and everyday when I login to obsess over the stats, I find something new and helpful. I’m so glad I found you! Now off to watch vids!
January 1, 2011 at 11:33 pm |
I Love WordPress.TV
February 2, 2011 at 12:27 am |
Parabéns! Gostaria de saber se eu tiver streaming posso programar no WordPress
March 27, 2011 at 3:22 pm |
What a great idea. Watch and learn, easy peasy.
