Speaking of Free Hosted FLVs

I found this free wordpress theme this morning, and it looks like it could be setup as a fake tube site using hosted movie files without any effort whatsoever.

Most of their stuff you have to pay for, but that one is actually a free offering. It looks and behaves more like a tube site would than the one they're calling wootube.

The only other plugin you might want to configure and add in your page code for would be wp-postviews http://www.woothemes.com/2008/10/snapshot/ so you can show how many times that video (page) has been watched.

that layout looks pretty nice have you used it yet bec yourself?

No, not yet. Just found it and haven't had a chance to make a database on an appropriate domain and test it out yet.
