Write Plug in posts to Blogs (was Re: Greg Smith Weekly Report Week Ending November 14 )

[Sebastien Adgnot]

Hi Greg and Zeke,

I would be glad to help to see if there are ways to integrate videos in your
blog posts, as I'm the developer of olpc.dailymotion.com, where all the
videos are ogg, Theora + Vorbis encoded.

Thanks.

Sebastien
