Wistia support added for LightEmbed.

The Wistia integration works the same way as the Vimeo and YouTube – automatically detecting the video type – so all you need is the ID.

If you aren’t familiar with LightEmbed, you can read about the project here.

As before, it works in one of two ways.

Javascript
The first is by calling a javascript function and passing the ID so trigger the modal without leaving the page.
YouTube Example / Vimeo Example / Wistia Example

GET Variable in URL
The second is by including the ID in a GET variable in the URL named “embed” for times you’re linking from a social site, email, or if you’re just not hip to the javascript groove.

Hi, I'm Gregg.

I'm a marketer (and maker) of smaller, B2B SaaS platforms.

By day I lead marketing for Inntopia and AthleteReg, evenings see me building SendView, and every year I practice new skills with a small project like Hoverpost or Annivesary Logos. This site? It's where I process what I learn along the way.
