Blogger’s Note: Video omissions in daily e-mails

Shhh…. I’m still on vacation, so don’t tell my family I popped in for a minute, okay?

Friend of the blog Dan French alerted me that today’s Kingdom of Days post didn’t include an embedded media clip I referred to in the post. (Thanks, Dan!)

Upon a bit of research (meaning I actually opened one of the e-mails my blog sends every day), it appears that none of the embedded YouTube videos were included. And it seems like it’s been that way for at least a few months, and possibly longer. (Only YouTube videos are affected–media clips hosted on other platforms seem to work fine.)

So first: I apologize–I had no idea the e-mail versions of every blog post are missing all those great audio and video clips.

I haven’t been able to figure out why that’s happening, so I can’t promise when (or even if) it’ll be fixed. (If any of you are WordPress experts and can advise me, I’d be much obliged.)

The best advice I can give at the moment is to click the article title at the top of the e-mail each time you get one, and that’ll take you to the blog itself where you can read the article with all of the media clips included and intact.

I know that’s probably an annoying extra step, and I apologize for that. I’ll do my best to figure it out in my spare time and update you if I find a fix.

Thanks again for following the blog. I’ll be back at my keyboard on August 1st with a new run of Roll of the Dice, Cover Me, and Meeting Across the River entries.

See you soon!
