Spymac plug-in for Wordpress!

Wordpress is a great place to blog, the only problem is that you can't embed Spymac videos into entries -- until now! Earlier this week, Martin Aberastegue released a free plugin that makes Wordpress compatible with Spymac and other popular video portals. Instructions are in Spanish, but installation is basic and easy. Thanks Martin!

Update: Martin was kind enough to send English instructions, enjoy:

The plugin is very simple to install and use, just upload it in the /wp-content/plugins folder, and activate it from the control panel.
If you want to insert a Spymac video in a post, you just copy the ID of the media:

Example:
http://www.spymac.com/details/?1859622

Copy the number 1859622, then go to the CODE tab on your post editor and paste the number with the WP-Vidz tag:

Example:
!–vidz:s:1859622–

Some people ask me why the plugin doesn't work? There is a common error, some people insert the code in the WYSIWYG editor instead of the CODE editor.
