How to Embed iPhone-Compatible Videos from Blip.tv
Blip.tv allows its users to create a custom show player for embedding an iPhone-compatible video into their site. This screencast by Justin Day from Blip.tv explains how to set up the player and how to get the correct embed code once you have the player set up. You can see it in action on your iPhone here.
Note you would not do this if using the vPIP plugin, but rather instead of using vPIP.

LO-FI ST. LOUIS
The focus of Lo-Fi St. Louis is not just music but art and culture and other forms of weird or unusual entertainment and the people that make St. Louis an interesting place to live. I’m of the opinion that every place has an interesting story and unique culture and it’s up to us to make these things that are unique and valuable known and available to the rest of the world to enjoy.
