 * I couldn’t find directions to use the plug-in anywhere. Am I missing something?
   This is what I figured out–is it right?
    1. As soon as you activate, configure.(
   If you don’t, your entire site won’t work!) Go to the S3 Video menu item in the
   left-hand menu of your Dashboard and choose Plugin Settings. You’ll have to put
   in keys from Amazon S3, which you can find in your Account area. You’ll also 
   have to enter the name of the S3 bucket where you store your videos. There was
   a setting about the number of video results that I didn’t understand. Click the
   Save button. 2. To use the plug-in, save the draft of your post or page, because
   you’ll have to leave it (annoying) 3. Choose S3 Video> S3 Video. This brings 
   you to a list of the files in that bucket. 4. To the right of the video that 
   you want to use, click Get Shortcode. 5. A window opens. Select all the text,
   copy it to the Clipboard. 6. Return to your post or page. 7. Click the HTML tab.
   8. Paste the shortcode where you want the video to appear.
