Add Flash detection to all your video posts

Frank,

I don't know if you are still following through on this blog, but I have a suggestion. In addition to the Flash detection, how about a module for Express Install that people could put into their blog software? I would prefer TypePad...

The reason is that I have a video blog with about 20 .swf files that I made with Flix Pro in Flash 8. But the general public, particularly Windows IE users, are not updating to Flash 8. I have a lot of anecdotal data for this as well as results from my system stats. Flash 8 may be great, and I think it is, but I am getting killed on the Player. And a lot of others are, too. At least those with sites for general public.

People are:
1. afraid to leave the site
2. not reading instructions
3. updating but it does not take
4. confused because they are looking for a program when they have a plugin.

It's a mess!

Thanks!
