Wrap the code in html tags.

Example:

Code Select

[html]<Video Code Inserted Here>[/html]

See if that helps.

lol.. no worries.

Okay, that is a standard html Article.. with no edits to the code.
You should be able to center it and just put an Article on the Home Page.

You need this:

Code Select

object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="pathtosomefilename.swf">
<embed src="pathtosomefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Of course you can edit the display size too.

I'm not sure re-ordering Articles is possible yet. You may have to copy/paste.

This is where Notepad is very usefull :)
