Buying Seattle Podcasts, Videos and Photos
Does anyone know of a good source for buying Seattle Podcasts and Photos to be used by bloggers?
I saw this announcement regarding the Seattle Condo Expo this weekend. One highlight of the event will be the unveiling of CityScape 2010 – a photorealistic virtual reality video showing the evolution of Seattle’s skyline over the next few years.
I thought, wouldn’t it be great to have a video of that on my blog as a link in the sidebar? I see some fabulous Seattle Photos that I can buy, but they come as hard hardcopy photos to have and frame. That doesn’t give me the right to turn it into a photo on my blog.
With all of the blogging that is going on, you would think there would be a place to purchase “blog stuff” like Podcasts, Videos and Photos to be used to supplement blog articles.
If anyone knows of a source for these kinds of materials, can you post it in the comments? Thanks.

Ardell,
If you’re just looking to display interesting real estate video content on your site, there are many free options for embedding existing videos. The video sites that focus on real estate are:
With the exception of TurnHere, all of them have the option of embedding videos directly onto your site. To get the TurnHere videos on your site, you’ve got to find the ones that they’ve uploaded to Google Video or YouTube and use that embed code.
In terms of interesting neighborhood content, you’re best bet is TurnHere and/or any of the big video sites like YouTube, Google Video, Revver… With a little searching, you can find great videos on any of these sites! (but watch out, the process of finding them can be a huge time swamp!)

Can you post some simple directions of how to embed them into a post?

It’s quite easy…
Once you find a video (this TurnHere video on YouTube about Hermosa Beach will do: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ExEX4_w2aPo),
then you look for the code that says “embed” on the YouTube page. (it’s on the right panel.
Copy and paste that embed code into a post, comment, sidepanel, etc, and assuming you have the ability to play embedded content from that platform, then everything should work. Here’s what happens when I paste the embed code into this comment:

I second Istock, they have a lot of great local images and very affordable as well.

I signed up for IStock and liked what I saw there. Unfortunately I wanted it for Active Rain’s Localism posts, but they require that I rent a helcoptor and fly over Mt. Ranier and take the photo myself. “original photos” only. What a bunch of crap.

I don’t know about podcasts and videos, but there are companies that sell stock photography such as istockphoto that you can use for flyers, web pages, blog postings.
However, since I use Word 2007 I just use the Office Clip Art & Media gallery.
