 * How do I add a Video file to a new post? I have already uploaded the file to 
   my wp-content/uploads directory, but how do I attach it from my Admin page?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * You can find the media uploader option in the write menu page at the top of tool
   box of the post. Also check with this plugin to embed the video:

 * Thanks,
 * Where do i find the URL for my video file? I tried copying what I thought was
   the URL and inserting it in my post, but when I click on the link it made, I 
   get an error message. The file is located in my wp-content/uploads directory.
