Project Blog Tip

It's really easy to add videos to the sidebar through Page Elements, but what if you want to add a google or youtube video inside your actual post? It is actually an easy task, and simply requires a knowledge of copying and pasting the code.

1. Navigate or find the youtube video that you would like to post.

2. Now to the right of the actual video, there is a an area that contains the director's name, and tags. In that area you should see the two lines of text in a rectangle, called URL and Embed. Ignore the URL for now, for its the embed option that we need.

3. Click on the rectangle containing the embed text. All the text inside the rectangle should now be highlighted. Do not click anywhere else.

4. Right click and copy the text. Now go to your blog and post the code that you copied into your desired post. It should look like this...

object width="425" height="350"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qit3ALTelOo"/paramparam name="wmode" value="transparent"/paramembed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qit3ALTelOo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"/embed/object

(I removed some tags so that the real video should not show)

5. Click Publish Post and your video should appear.
