Another Test for the X Platform
I’m thinking about consolidating my video hosting, since I am no longer that impressed with Vimeo, which I have paid for hosting for a very long time. In my last blog post, I tested hosting video from an X post using Drang 8th Ave. It worked well.
Now I am attempting this using the newer “Articles” service on X. I wrote an Article there “Burning Contour Matrix, or, God Takes the Wheel” where I embedded a new export of BCM. I’ll see here how embedding video works from that part of X.
The direct video address is https://x.com/simontarr/status/1871267454577443078
OK, that doesn’t really work. It looks like I’ll need to make the video into a tweet, then if I want an article (aka a blog post?) then I’ll need to post the video in it as a link to the tweet.
Now, I’d prefer the Squarespace support video on X the same way it does Vimeo and other video hosting, then I could just tell it the link to the X post. I’ll try below:
Nope, that doesn’t work either.
