Posting Video on Blogger

It's proving to be quite a challenge posting a flash video on the Practically Nothing Blog! My "A Bloody Cold" video is easy enough to publish but getting it to work with Internet Explorer and Firefox at the same time is a bit of a nightmare.If we publish with Explorer the video shows on both platforms but the layout is screwed up on the Firefox browser.If we publish using Firefox,the Explorer browser can't load the Video.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down.

Is anybody listening?

Lets talk about practically nothing my web blog. I love the idea of open communications, voices, lots of voices chattering. So I have decided to add my voice to the flood of electronic offs and ons which control communications these days. This current media this "new media", which whole heartedly supports my blog, has a playful and engaging nature and webspace to burn. Well let me in, I'm down with the whole idea of blathering my life away on some lost blog. Everybody is talking no one is listening, sounds like a family meal to me. Conversation is all about the more you say the more presence you have , right! Be a sport God and send me someone who can write prose.
