    Use http://www.ustream.tv/ and then embed the player on your site.

      Huh?

      What is it exactly that you want to do?

      Is this the right website you're talking about: sloopinn.co.uk? Looks like a parked domain to me.

        Gotcha. ;D

        You are using Internet Explorer, aren't you? On the page with the picture, (using Internet Explorer) click on the text at the top of the area where the picture should load. Do you get a popup saying something about refreshing the page for the ActiveX?
