How to Add You Tube Videos to Your Posts

Posted by ljmacphee on August 13, 2007 under blogger, blogger template, how to, multimedia |

I’ve been meaning to cover this for weeks and kept getting detoured. You can add You Tube videos to your Blogger posts, Wordpress posts, or just regular webpages and it is totally painless.

First sign up for a free You Tube account.
Add the video you wish to post to your favorites.
Go to My Account -> My Custom Players -> Create Custom Player
Answer the questions about how you want your personal You Tube Player to appear
Add the video
Copy and paste the code right into your post.

* Did you know you can take video on your mobile phone and send it straight to You Tube? How cool is that? I’ll have to go take some videos now.

    I’ve been embedding videos onto my blog all this while but I didn’t realise that I could customise the appearance of the player until you mentioned it. I’ve submitted this weblog entry to StumbleUpon.

    Thanks for the tip! :-)
