Youtube and WordPress (self-hosted)
If you want to link your self-hosted WordPress blog to your Youtube account, you need more information than any other supported blog.
Once you’re on the set-up-blog-publishing page, fill the form in as follows:
- Blog Service: WordPress Self-Hosted
- Username: <username>
- Password: **********
- API URL: http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
- API Key:
NB the API URL doesn’t seem to be anything to do with WordPress itself. It’s really just the path to the file xmlrpc.php; see the entry in the WordPress codex for more about it (look at the very bottom of the page for how the URL is obtained).
NB the API Key is a key you get by registering with wordpress.com, then following the instructions on the answer to the FAQ about it.
WordPress is all very well, but why do they have to make it so complicated?!

Cool. I’ll have to try that. Does it allow you to more easily publish videos? I generally just paste in the code in a blog post.

I haven't the faintest idea! I never publish videos anywahere, either on my blog or on youtube. I only created a youtube account because my shiny new webcamera has an option to easily upload videos made with it!
