Genius!

I couldn't get it to work in the about section of tumblr, so I threw it up on here: safearmy.com/tb/

I love vimeo midgets.
Zach Klein 2 years ago

Did Tumblr strip out the embed code?
Thommy Browne 2 years ago

Yep =(
Zach Klein 2 years ago

Did you trying editing the page HTML in the settings section? Maybe you could manually insert it yourself there.
Thommy Browne 2 years ago

Thats how I tried to paste it in - in the html view. After pasting it in it wouldn't show up, then I went back to the html view and the code was stripped out.

Thommy Browne 2 years ago

Awesome - I got it to work. Thanks Gentry.

Jayel Aheram 2 years ago

Oh, interesting. I am wondering if one can create Vimeo badges made up of mini-vimeos?
Zach Klein 2 years ago

This would be a great API project!!
Khamis Hammoudeh 2 years ago

I changed my blog's badge to be made of midgets. I don't know if I like them being videos instead of plain images yet...

khamm.net
The Javascript is here khamm.net/vimeo.js

I've only tested it on Firefox 2. So I'm not sure if this code will work perfectly with other browsers yet.
Alex Kehr 2 years ago

It works with Safari.
Zach Klein 2 years ago

Khamis, AWESOME!
Khamis Hammoudeh 2 years ago

EDIT: It doesn't work in IE6/7. Only the bottom one loads. So I switched back to the images for now. If anyone wants a midget badge for their blog, they can use my modified badge code.. it just won't work in IE right now.

Zach..thanks for keeping the ideas fresh around here. Little reminders, tips and tricks keep creativity flowing especially with all the creative people associated with this site.

I am loving these - thanks Zach.
I'm using them at matthewgruman.com (runs through a little script that takes two at random and positions them dynamically) and travisjumps.com (in lieu of an "About Me" section)
