			I have been doing quite a bit of work getting images categorized according to the type of photo they are. I plan to go through them again after that is finished and sort them by subject matter into the categories listed above (like 'LifeTrac' or 'CEB Press').

			I have also looked into a much better way of embedding videos on the wiki by making separate pages for them in the 'Video' namespace. You can see an example of a video page at [[Video:Torch Table Motion]] and I will use my embedding method to embed that test video at the end of this paragraph. Edit this page to see what the user-facing code would look like. Notice that this method allows us to have that video entered in the 'Torch Table' category, but this page is not automatically included in that category. This method also allows us to use the 'What links here' functionality from the video page and see everywhere on the wiki that the video is being used. The video is also automatically in universal subtitles wherever it is used whilst allowing us to keep all the ugly code on a single template page (most of the code on the video page right now can actually be moved to a template which I plan to do shortly).

			I plan on converting a few of the videos on some pages to this new system as a test-run of how it works and if it works well I will go through and convert all the videos on the wiki. As far as users adding new videos, this process is a bit more complicated as a separate page needs to be created for the video, however anyone who doesn't understand my system can just use the old system and it can be converted by someone later on (just like I plan to do with the videos that are already on the wiki).
