Videos are a good way of spicing up your blog posts, and luckily with WordPress inserting Flash Video is a snap. I use the excellent Hana Flv Player for inserting videos. You can choose from 4 different players and it also does give you a few more options you can play around with.

Here is a sample flv file I’ve created from one of my favourite TV shows, ‘The Big Bang Theory’

If you’d like to go down an easier route and host your video on Youtube, you can use the Smart Youtube plugin which is pretty much perfect for this sort of thing. Below is a great video being displayed using this plugin.
