Tutorial: How to post a video from YouTube

There were many questions today and I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to get to them all.

One thing that I wanted to inform you of was how to post a video from YouTube . It is really quite simple.

I will describe the process from the point at which you would have already begun your blog post.

First, In a separate window (press ctrl + n to open a new window) locate the video you'd like to use on YouTube.




Second, copy (ctrl + c, or right click on your mouse) the text in the "Embed" text field next to the video. This is Html code.




Then return to the window that contains the post you are creating.

You should see two tabs at the top of your post, "Edit Html" and "compose." Click on the "edit html" tab.


Then paste (ctrl + v) the embed html code into your post. You can then return to compose mode by clicking on that tab.



There you go! Video in your blog. Pretty cool, huh?

If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know. You can leave comments here or shoot me an email.
