Adding Videos to Media Site
October 10, 2009 in Videos
This guide will help anyone who wishes to contribute relevant and informative videos to our media site: ZEITGEIST MEDIA.
NOTE: Before you gain access to the media site, you must first sign up to become a contributor by simply replying to this entry
. Within 24 hours, I will change your role to contributor so that you can start posting videos.
NOTE: All videos must be approved by me
. This is not because I don’t like you, I think I’m better than you, nor because I think you might post porn, but instead because I want to make sure everything is properly configured. Most likely every post will be published.
After your role has changed contributor, follow these steps to post a video:
NOTE: “SAVE DRAFT” after each step.
- Write a Title of the video post, then write a description into the content of the post.

- Select the Category(s) that the video falls under. (Tags are not used at the moment but can be added if you want to)

- Add a thumbnail to your video by finding a picture that represents the video, copy and pasting the URL (
) into the Upload Box or by Uploading a picture from your computer, then hitting the Update button. 
- Add the Video by copy and pasting the URL (
) from any popular video website (google, youtube, veoh, dailymotion, dotsub, etc…) into the “Video URL” box, set the WIDTH to 640 and HEIGHT to 480, then hit the UPDATE POST button.

NOTE: If after you hit the update post and your video doesn’t show up at the bottom of the page, then use the “Embed Code” option. Let me know if you run into this issue. - SAVE DRAFT one last time. You are done

Hey Diego,
I submitted a video a couple of weeks ago (Jacque Talk Series – 2nd Edition). I Imagine that you’ve been very busy lately, but if you get a chance soon, would you publish it?
Thanks… Hope all is well with you

“This all may start making more sense when you start understanding that common citizens aren’t meant to know what is happening at the top. Is there any dispute that to gain power in our day in age, it takes strategy and intelligence rather than brute force? Logic will tell you that in any sport or game, to claim victory, you must keep your moves strategic and secret. Why would it be any different in global politics?”
The more humanity strays from its’ origin, the more we deny our bond with nature, the farther from perfection we become. We are the only creatures on the planet that use symbols in reference to something else. We use symbols for absolutely everything the mind can conceive of. There is at least one word or icon or gesture to insinuate everything our five senses can detect and then some. But along with this beautiful gift comes a flaw. Most people are unwilling to seek and create their own interpretations of these symbols. Instead, they blindly submit to preconceived definitions and connotations given by sources unknown. Because of this, many things have been predetermined in our understanding of life without our knowledge. Words can be perverted and used to manipulate rather than to inform. Symbols can be used to segregate rather than unite. And those given the responsibility and authority to disseminate information to the public possess the ability to do with it as they choose.

How about “AWAKENING” for your media site, it would perfectly in.
If you havn’t seen Awakening yet i highly suggest you go watch the four part video series by Doug
I’m working on Downloading the full short film, and also maybe you can add Story of Stuff unless you already have it uploaded.

Hello Diego,
I would like to contribute a video I made called: WHY SCHOOL IS A FRAUD. (I am a tenured teacher at a public school.) It’s about an hour. Could you please give me access.

Hi. I’d like to become a contributor. A well educated public cannot be oppressed or fooled. Documentaries and relevant videos are a great tool to accomplish this.
