This post also includes my Larry the Postman information at the end.
I have never learned the right way to include a 3Speak video in my PeakD posts without the video being duplicated orphan somewhere because of tags or community specified for the video.
So, yesterday I decided to use the "Add post to your hive blog section feature" of 3Speak.
I never did this before because 3Speak doesn't have templates and no upload image capability. It dawn on me yesterday, that I could copy the template code without a problem. But, what about pictures?
If you click the image icon in 3Speak, you don't get the choice of upload image or image link. You get a skeleton sting of Markdown code to fill in. ( string of code won't print.)
To fill in that html, I thought I would have to use my hosting service to store the image for use in the post. A lot of images I use in posts will only be used in a single post. I did not want to start saving hundreds of images on my hosting service that would on be used once.
Then the lightbulp went off. (This is the part everyone but me probably already knew.)
I don' I upload the image on a draft PeakD document and then copy the result into this post. I was not sure it would work but it was worth a try.
So I opened a new post in PeakD
I clicked on the upload images under the image icon and selected the image I wanted.
Clicked the open button which upload the image and created the markdown code.
I copied the code and pasted in this post and POOF the image appears.
Then I delete the PeakD post.
If there is a better way, please let me know in the comments. If not, I hope you find this useful. Now if 3Speak would just get a better way to preview your post, I would be all set.
Now here is my Larry the Postman information. I guess the video is at the top. I see if I can move it once the post is done.

I do my entire post on peakd but don't publish it, once it looks how I want I copy the post and then past it in 3speak and upload the video. It always comes out perfecly and it is easier then trying to just do bits and pieces jumping back and forth between 3speak and peakd. After I upload the video I go back to peakd and erase the post and since you can only use 5 tags in 3speak I edit the post and add 5 more tags to the post.

Definitely, a better and faster way to do it. Thank you for the information. I was sure others had already figured this out.
I'm doing the same thing @maddogmike doing. One extra is I also edit in PeakD after posting on 3Speak, and move the video to any place of the post. There is only one thing, you can add more than 10 tags on 3Speak but if you edit in PeakD after, you have to delete and make it 10 again or you can't publish the edit.
Thanks for the post !CTP
Thanks for the tip. This is the type of information I was looking for. Thank you for the comment.
I never really do videos, so it's pretty easy for me. Using the frontend I want to use and hit publish. No hassle for using different frontends.
You should try videos. They are easier to do than a long post to me, Thanks for your comment.
Phew, it does seem like a bit of a hassle. Glad you managed to figure it out though.

My way is a bit of a hassle but the comments by @maddogmike and @casimirio describe a much simpler way. Thanks for your comment.
great job to you

You are still doing better than me -- I cannot get 3speak figured out!
Good information, Bob. I will have to give it a try.
