How to embed video

Submitted by lmcisaac on Mon, 10/05/2009 - 10:43am

Step 1: Copy the embed code of the video you want to share. On Youtube and Google videos, this is usually located near the video in a box that says: "Embed."

Step 2: Click "Create a Blog post." Give your post a title and type "writing video" in keyword field. That way your video will come up in this library of writing videos.

Step 3: Paste the code into the text of your post. It will look something like this:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.You Tube.com/v/SPECIFIC VIDEO CODE"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.You Tube.com/v/SPECIFIC VIDEO CODE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

NOTE: In order to accommodate a bug in Internet Explorer, DELETE everything outside of the <embed> tag. You should be left with something like this:

    <embed src="http://www.You Tube.com/v/SPECIFIC VIDEO CODE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>

Step 4: Click submit.
