I am new to WordPress.I want to know how can I use multiple screencast videos in a single page using "Screencast Video Embedder" plugin.
Please help?
If you are using this Screencast.com Video Embedder.
It Looks like the plugin uses shortcodes [screencast url="SCREENCAST SHORT URL" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT"] so just add that multiple times to your page with different screencast urls.

I want to embed an unlisted channel with unlisted videos into a web page that displays each video as a thumbnail. When you click on the thumbnail it plays in page - or some variation of this. What is the best and easiest way to accomplish this via free plugin or script?
A quick search in google found a couple of options.

I just wondering whether http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is a subdomain under subdirectory?
I am just curious to know how we can do that.
I have a website called http://quantumbuddy.com/ and I want to share spirtual video the same way here shoutmeloud did.
Can anyone let me know how they did?
The website Shoutmeloud is a very popular website of a very popular Indian blogger Harsh Agarwal. The website is WordPress built as told by him many times. Regarding your question - the http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is not a directory because if it had been a WordPress directly there would be a login url - http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos/wp-login.php, but it is not there.
Seeing the design of http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos i think it is a post category (videos) which shows the post contained in it(here videos).
In wordpress this comes by default, all you have to do is to create a post category and add post in it. Then in these post add youtube videos embed code.
You can easily achieve that by going to your wordpress dashboard then add a new page and name it like videos then insert some video files there whether it's a link or from your uploaded videos then save it.
To check the page, Add it to your main menu for example then save it.
The url would be like http://quantumbuddy.com/videos.
so basically the videos is the name of the page.
I checked your site and it only contain one link in the menu. Add a page and add it to your menu bar and it would display next to the Blog link.
The website you are referring to is using Genesis Theme. You can find it here

I would want to create a preview in wordpress that would look different than the normal post. I know how I can shorten the text but I want the whole post to have a different css when you click on the link that will send you to page where the post is. I will appreciate any answer or hint. Thanks
You can use Page Templates. Its not available on posts, only on pages but it will look the same. Create a new page, select a different template and click preview.
Trying to figure out if there is a way to take a snippet of a wordpress blog, same site, same hosting, and plug that into a pure HTML page.
Example... I want to show the title of the blog, and first 150 characters. With a link to ..."read more" which would take the visitor to the actual blog.
Widget? or custom type of coding?
One way that WordPress exposes blog output to other applications is through the RSS feed.
It is often available by URL at
"http:// your-Wordpress-Root-URL.com/ feed".
You can use that URL in a 3rd-party widget that you use via HTML/JS on any HTML page.
They'll give you the code snippet to drop in your page.
And they'll have different options to customize things like the number of blog entries to show, and the length to preview - as you mentioned.
I'll paste a couple links to start with, and you can easily search for more online with something like "RSS feed widget" in google.

I'm experimenting with making my first JQuery Mobile app. I want to have three buttons that when each of them is pressed displays a new page with a summary list of Wordpress blog posts from 3 different categories.
For example:
Button 1 link- mysite.com/?cat=1
Button 2 link- mysite.com/?cat=2
Button 3 link- mysite.com/?cat=3
So if I press 'Button 1' a new page loads that lists posts from category 1. Each post is in summary format (image thumbnail and brief text). Then clicking this goes through to the full detail version of the blog post.
Would it be done with RSS feeds? I've seen JSON mentioned but have no idea how to use it.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm new to this!
I would suggest using a separate theme that generates HTML that jQuery Mobile can use. Depending on your level of ambition for this project, you could create your own or try to find one online.
Googling 'jquery mobile wordpress theme' returned some promising results, but jQuery Mobile has been changing a lot in the past year, so be aware that these themes might not be compatible with the latest version.
If you plan on creating your own theme, I suggest using one of the default themes as a starting point. At the minimum, you will have to convert:
index.php (to load jQuery Mobile's CSS and Javascript)
category.php (for the list-view)
single.php (for the detail-view)
to use jQuery Mobile markup, as well as the template for the page on which you plan on including the links to the categories (page.php?).
RSS and JSON are unfitting formats for this problem, as jQuery Mobile relies on HTML-markup to render pages.
