		+	VideoShowcase can be added to your site using two different methods, widgets or shortcode.
		+	====Widget====
		+	Navigate to the Widgets area under Appearance in the WordPress Admin area. Drag the VideoShowcase widget into the widget area that you would like for it to display in and fill out the widget form with the information for the group you would like to show.
		+	====Shortcode====
		+	The groups table in VideoShowcase will display a list of information for each different group that you have created. In the row of the group that you would like to display there is a "Create Shortcode" link that will bring up a popup form to help create a customized shortcode for that group and settings you would like. If you would like to add a VideoShowcase group to a post or page all you have to do is copy that shortcode and paste it the content of a page or post.

 ==3 Step Process==
 ====Step 1. Create a Group====
-To create a Group set the name, thumbnail width, and thumbnail height.
+The first step in adding VideoShowcase to your site is to create a group to store the video entries in. The link to VideoShowcase in the WordPress admin area is in the DisplayBuddy section of the menu. When you click the VideoShowcase link it will direct you to the area where you can create a group. The only information requested to create a group is a name for that group, group image width, and group image height.
 [[File:Create_group.png‎]]
 ====Step 2. Add videos to the groups====
-To add a video set the title and paste in the videos source site URL.
+Once you have created a group then you will be able to add videos to that group. To add videos to a group you can click the "Add Videos" link that is next to the name of the group. There are two different forms for adding videos. The first form can be used for adding a YouTube or Vimeo video, and the second form can be used to add a stand alone video (ex: mp4, flv, and mov).

 Example of what to put in the "video URL" are outlined in red in the images below:
