i dont know if its of interest but a blogging CMS on laravel 11 code is here: https://github.com/captain-sensible/Laravel11blogCMS

Now a couple of thoughts on uploading videos. If a user uploads a video via using a form, the video goes to somewhere maybe within Public directory. When surfers go to look at the video, its running from your web hosting .

Now bandwidth has significantly improved but not that muc hfor 3rd world Countries like Ghana its still really bad. That means your more or less ruling out your CMS being used 3rd world or being viewed 3rd world. For blogs i have fiddled about so that "embed code" from Youtube or Tiktok has reasonable layout . embed code is as simple as eg

<iframe width="315" height="560" align="left" border="5px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x5ZUUeG7opY" title="4 June 2024" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> blah blah <br><br>

Now the really import thing about embed code on a web, is that it will be SEEN on your web BUT its really running on in regard to the above on youtube massive servers meaning next to now strain on surfer computer.

On my CMS blogs are created via a form, but via admin panel can be edited
