How to Add a Video to Your Home Page

don — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:30:35 +0000

A *lot* of people have asked me how to add a video to the home page of their WordPress website using the Chiropractor2Web WordPress theme.

The theme comes with a static home page by default since many business owners want that instead of the traditional list of blog posts on the home page. And many have figured out how to edit the HTML of the home page to replace the image with a video.

But there is an easier way…

Here is an easier way do to it – just create a new “Page” in WordPress, embed the video (I used a YouTube video in the example) and then add some minor styling tweaks for margins and you are all set!

This video walks you through how to do it step-by-step. Even though I describe how to do this with the Chiropractor2Web theme, this could work for any WordPress theme.

Over on Expand2Web I just posted a video that shows you how to change the default sidebar widget by replacing it with a newsletter signup form.

I’ve embedded the video below, and you can click here to read the whole tutorial on Expand2Web – How to Add a WordPress Widget to Your Website.

The Chiropractor2Web WordPress Theme has a default sidebar widget – the “Call Us Today” widget with the picture of the smiling receptionist. This default widget will show unless you go into your WordPress Admin panel and add a widget of your own.

Then this one will go away and be replaced by the widget(s) that you add. This video shows you how to do this.

Note: I’m using the excellent AWeber email newsletter service in this video.
