Web Templates and Video

->> Hi-
I've been planning to redo my website using a free or purchased template available from sites like Photoshelter, Livebooks, or Zenfolio. However, I'd like to integrate videos with my still portfolio, and I've been having trouble figuring out if these templates support video.

Is anyone using a webpage template or hosting site that makes it easy to post a video? I'd prefer not to send people to Vimeo or other sites to view my multimedia work.

If templates don't work, do you have any other suggestions? I just don't think I have the time or talent to build a site from the ground up, and I don't have the money to pay a designer for a custom design.

Thanks-
Brian H.

->> With a Wordpress blog you can install a flash media player and host your own videos but this takes some work to set up. I am sure other blogs will do it as well, I am only familiar with Wordpress.

I personally like embedding Vimeo videos into my blog. They will play right on the page and do not direct the user to Vimeo unless they want to go there.

->> Kevin-Thank you for your reply. I've been thinking about Wordpress too but hadn't done much reading on it. I'll look it into it further. Since Vimeo can just embed then maybe it is a good option.

->> I believe all aphotofolio template designs will allow you to post video. They have great customer service...
