might be time for a site update...

Looks like more and more of the videos I want to embed on my blog/site are wider than the 480 pixels this template is set up to handle. So it looks like my summer will be spent on a new theme that can accommodate the bigger videos the inter-tubes are serving up. Fun!

I just ran into that same thing on mine, but all of the major video sites I've come across support arbitrary sizes. Just change the embed code to whatever size you want it to be.

Hey Keith just a heads up about the videos the embed code you get is wider than your site, but you can just type a new aspect ration into the code itself as long as its the same ratio and doesn't distort the overall size of the video. It takes an extra few seconds but that way it doesn't crop your site.

same as the comments above, my template is 475 pixels.

You just need to need to change the width in the embedded code. It is usually set in 2 locations. The height is taken care of automatically. Who cares about code compliance! ;-)
