Get the Latest NewsBusted Episode Automatically Posted to Your Site
By NB Staff | March 22, 2011 | 14:29
Readers may have noticed a slight change on the site. We've switched out the old Eyeblast video player for a YouTube player, which should function more smoothly than the old one. You've probably noticed the delay in new episodes showing up on the homepage. That will no longer be a problem.
Some other big news regarding 'Busted: with this new player, you can now embed your own NewsBusted widget on your website. It will function exactly like the one you see on the NB homepage, displaying the latest NewsBusted episode right on your blog or homepage. Just copy and paste the code below the break to embed the player.
<object height="280" width="345"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFMAZaRO94EyUWNjxMJROHU2Sqd8rK3x0SE=" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFMAZaRO94EyUWNjxMJROHU2Sqd8rK3x0SE=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="280" width="345"></embed></object>
You can also change the width and height values in the code (italicized) so that it better fits your site's theme.

How do I embed the Newsbusters widget to wordpress blog?

I am a HUGE fan of Newsbusters! I would love to have a widget on my wordpress blog. I am still learning my way around wordpress. My blog has certain widgets that show as "available" that I can add to my site. How do I add a widget that is not on that list? Thanks, ChadAre you talking the show or the blog?

I already have Newsbusters blog listed on my "blogroll." If I add the widget for the 'Busted' show, will it automatically update on my blog when a new episode airs? Obviously, I can just add the Youtube clip manually when ever a new episode airs, but if there is a way to have it automatically load that would be great. I am currently looking through tutorials & how-to videos on wordpress to see how to add a "custom" widget, but if you have experience with wordpress and could offer any additional direction I would appreciate it.Yes, the code above will

Well the worst that could happen is that they will go to YouTube. The widget is served entirely from their site :)unfortunately
