Create widgets and put your videos anywhere

Adding widgets is not limited only to sidebar. You can widgetize any part of your site. It’s incredibly easy!
This is CSS of the widget. Note that width of the widget is set to auto. This allows using setting different sizes of the video without setting new sizes of the widget in CSS.

.widget            { width: auto; margin: 0px 0 10px 0; }
.widget p          { padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; }

In functions.php you have to register your sidebar:

<?php
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
//Video widget 1
    register_sidebar(array(
    'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="%2$s widget">',
    'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title' => '</h3>',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
    'name' => Video widget 1));
//Video widget 2
    register_sidebar(array(
    'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="%2$s widget">',
    'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title' => '</h3>',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
    'name' => Video widget 2));
}
?>

The last thing we have to do is add widgets to our code.
Video widget 1 in the footer:

<div id="footer">
<?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Video widget 1')): else : ?>
<!-- some code -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

..and Video widget 2 in the sidebar:

<div id="sidebar">
<?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Video widget 2')): else : ?>
<!-- some code -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
