Whatever I am thinking about today....
Multimedia Sizing Help Using Current Themes
I added a music player on my profile and have had a few people asks me questions about adding one on to their profile. Here is some helpful code if using the "current" theme as your profile page.

Some people have noticed that if they add multimedia to their profile, the picture is always small even if they move it to the middle column of their page. To get around this you need to add one line of code into your account.

1. Go to Account under My Gaia

2. Click on Theme. It is on the right under profile.

3. In the Theme Override box insert this line of code.
#column_2 .media_panel embed {height: 350px; width: 425px;}

4. Don't forget to hit submit after you insert the line above.

You can now move the multimedia box to anywhere on your page and the items from YouTube will size properly.

If you are adding the music player, you need to physically set the size in the code that you get from projectplaylist.com after they create your code for Gaia.

If you have the music player in columns 1 or 3 you need to set the code to myheight=190 and mywidth=190.

If the music player is in column 2 you need to set the code to myheight=350 and mywidth=425.

Other useful code for YouTube.

If you want the song or movie to start automatically add this to the end of the http link from YouTube. Don't insert a space before adding.
&autoplay=1

If you don't want the related videos to pop up at the end add this to the end of the link. Don't insert a space before adding.
&rel=0

Hope this helps and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I am glad to help.
