Thanks, Frans. I'll stick it out for another 30 days, but I'm on a monthly billing cycle rather that annually so I'm taking a pretty low risk. I learned that lesson last Friday :)

Gerard, its probably best to go a-Drupal.orging for recommendations on hosting companies for Drupal sites. Then it's a great idea to communicate directly with the company's tech department (not marketing dept) and show them the list of Drupal requirements.
I've recommended Dreamhost before, they get mixed reviews. I've specifically -not- recommended DWHS, iPowerweb, and A Small Orange for various reasons. But really, all of these companies in the shared hosting realm fluctuate in service and performance. I've come to accept that part of running Drupal in a shared environment means regularly migrating sites to new hosts.
I've had my freelance sites on pair.com for 9 years now (drupal sites the last 2 years) and I may never move. Great, responsive service on fast servers but definitely not $5 per month.
Ha! I'm running a couple of Drupal sites on a shared hosting environment, as they're not at the highly popular/mission critical stage just yet. It's crossed my mind a few times that I should ask or look for a solid Drupal-approved web host.
Thanks for the advice, Adi. I had tried media temple some time ago and wasn't impressed with their grid server performance. This time around I chose to abandon shared hosting altogether and place my important websites on the VPS tier of service. I figured I had just outgrown shared hosting entirely, as lost of Drupal sites tend to do very quickly, and as expected it is a major improvement.
Why not try a bit expensive host, i am hosted with media temple and feel theree infrastructure is very good. I have switched a lot of hosts and it feels good to finally hve a host i knw will not sell my website performance for some cheap bucks.
Pretyy professional people, you can see the professional in their control panel, where everything works and is well thought off.
Joe, Cybergeggy, others: Very sorry to say that I don't have any added insight here either.
I've started an issue on the jQuery Media project page with some of your descriptions, please go there and describe your issues as clearly and with as much detail as possible. The issue tracker is where the developer(s) who made the module usually lurk and are so much more likely to have insight. Let me point you there:
Joe, Did you get it working because I have the very same problem? No matter what settings I use or move the player to, I get no video playing - just the link which opens in another window. I'm getting what I think is the right js code in my html source for the page, but doesn't seem to be providing this info to the in the body of the page. I've been almost two weeks on this (part time) and am about to give up! It looked so simple in the screencast and just what I was looking for, but now ... Can anyone please provide an answer?
Ditto with Joe. jquery_media doesn't seem to kick in so the filefield just shows my mp3 file. It seems that installing this module and the players outsmarted me. jquery_media-6.x-1.3 I tried putting the player in various places but couldn't get it to work.
Once a create a new node, it doesn't show either a link to a video or the video at all. I followed the tutorial to the T. I configured jquery media as shown, and still nothing shows up when trying to upload a video. The movie type is a .mov and i placed it in the allowed upload file types. I ma in Drupal 6.I only have these modules enabled just as the tutorial. any ideas?
I am unable to get this working in D6. Once I create a video content type and submit it, there is no link to the actual media and does not play. Any ideas?
As for Zen, its a great starter theme because of its good documentation. I picked Garland because of its overwhelming familiarity for Drupal users, and it doesn't really matter where you steal your code from anyway as long as you match up your tags.
Recently, someone said:
How would you change css for menu?

Hi Sean,

You are still in the 1 month money back guarantee:-)

Are there any suggestions before I go a-Googling?

Great photo.
You truly look like someone who broke out of his crapy hosting ;-)
... reminds me of myself when I quit site5.

JW FLV Player config issue

To those not getting a link, make you sure check off "FULL HTML" when creating a video node.

Make a Drupal.org project for it and stick it in the CVS!

As far as Drupal 5, it sure can. There are only a few differences, like no need for a .info file in D5.
I enjoyed the screencast and am subscribing to your RSS feed. I hope you can pump more of these out.
Thanks for the article.
Question: isn't it easier to start with zen drupal theme instead of garland?
sean,
Thanks for a great article. Can the same principle be applied to drupal 5, or is it only this easy in drupal 6?
regards,
heebie.
That was great! This really helped me a lot, I'll be sure to use your site in the future.
very clear, and actually an entertaining programming video!
Thank you, this tutorial was helpful and got right to the heart of the problem I was trying to solve.
