Hi Jasmine,

Here is how you add user specific video for your atheletes.

1. Upload the Video – Create a fake post and click on the TV icon shown below.

2. Upload your video by clicking “Upload a Video”

You should see this…

3. Insert into Post – by clicking “Send to editor”

4. Copy and Paste the code – Post the code into your csv document

That’s it! When your user logs-in to get the stats, the video will be posted on the same page.

I’ve been having a not so fun font conflict.

The fonts in Safari, Firefox and many other applications are a garbled mess.

Garbled Text in FF3

After upgrading to Firefox 3 garbled looking fonts were becoming a huge nuisance. Then Safari started acting up. I knew it had to be one of the 3,000 fonts loaded into my system.

Solutions:
1. Manage conflicts, duplicates & corruptions in Font Book or similar application like FontExplorerX (Freeware).

2. For garbled text, the most common cause is corrupt font caches. Try emptying the font cache – use a program like Tweak Freak for 10.4 or Onyx for 10.5 (Both are Freeware)

3. Helvetica Fractions in particular are known to cause problems, as is Times Phonetic. Don’t just disable these fonts in Font Book, but physically remove & delete them from your system and try your applications again.

Removing the non-system Helveticas fixed my Safari. Then removing & Deleting Times Phonetic fixed Firefox 3. WoooHoo!

If this post has helped you, leave a comment. Thanks!
