Web 2.0 can be a treasure trove and a minefield.

Hey guys,

I just set up a sweet player for lonelygirl15 using the YouTube “Custom Video Player” tool. Just copy and paste the code below into your MySpace page and voila! Now the whole series is embedded right there!

You can really help us promote the show and gain new viewership this way. You can use this embed code anywhere too, on your blog, website, etc. Not sure what took us so long to do this one, busy busy I guess If you have other creative usage for the player, post a comment!

Great news,

Jon, Casey, and Broken Kid have been hard at work building, testing, and debugging some sweet enhancements to the user profiles on our site. Now you’ll be able to import your videos from YouTube, and select which ones will display on your profile. Additionally, you can link to related profiles on our site, and to a discussion in the forum. These new features are a step towards our ultimate goal, which is to provide a way for fans to create and promote their own shows on our website.

Here’s a step-by-step how-to:

A. Edit your profile and add your YouTube account name

B. On your public profile page, click Edit Videos.

Then select the videos for display on your profile (do this each time you have a new video you want on your profile)

C. Edit your profile and add related lonelygirl15.com user names (comma-separated)

D. Edit your profile and add the lonelygirl15.com forum ID you wish to link to (see example)

We have more plans brewing and we realise these tools are just a start. There are lots of features we have down on paper that will take us some time to make a reality, so please bear with us! We have a lot more in store…
