Once you have found your clip, click on publish this clip and you will be taken to the publish page. You will see a drop down menu to select "My First Channel." The clip will be added to your first channel. You may add more clips to your channel or copy code to publish your clip to your site. Click "Get Code" and a screen will offer several integration methods:

• Link

  - copying the link code will integrate a simple html link to your channel. A user clicking on the link will pop up the ClipSyndicate player and play your clip.

• HTML

  - copying the html code will integrate one thumbnail image, the title and description of your channel. Note: if you have more than one clip in your channel, you can select which thumbnail to display on your site.

• JavaScript

  - copying the JavaScript code will integrate your channel and display as many thumbnails as you choose on your site. Also, a JavaScript integration will automatically update your channel as you add clips to it (without having to re-copy code into your site.) ClipTip: some blog sites do not support JavaScript well.

• RSS

  - copying the RSS code into your site will publish your channel and automatically update it when you add clips.

Go to "My Accounts" and click on Administration and then click "Add a Site."

A channel is a collection of clips (one or more) organized into a playlist called a channel. You can create as many channels as you choose for as many different topics as you choose to integrate onto your site.

A smart channel is a "saved search" that automatically updates your channel's playlist as new clips become available that meet your search criteria.

A featured channel is channel of pre-edited content created by ClipSyndicate and our content partners.

There are two ways to create channels.

HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language" and is a static integration of a clip's thumbnail, title and description. You will have to copy and paste code each time you update your site with html.

JavaScript is a scripting language that when embedded into html pages adds functionality to a site. ClipSyndicate's JavaScript publishing integration allows users to embed channels into their pages and easily update them by simply adding clips to their channels without having to copy and paste code each time. Please note that JavaScript may not be compatible with certain blog sites.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is an XML-based program that allows users to subscribe to their favorite websites. An RSS reader can check the list of feeds on behalf of a user and display updated articles or files. ClipSyndicate allows you to implement RSS integrations of your channels. Thus if your users embed your RSS feed into a reader, they will be notified each time you update your channel - a really simple way to generate traffic!
