Tip #86: Insert a YouTube video
I am hoping that you are personally/professionally using YouTube now to engage your blog readers and to help grow your social media audience and online presence. However, if not, you can still link to, embed and share other great sources of video you enjoy and found on the web!
Over at Stamping and Blogging there is step by step instruction on how to embed YouTube video into your blog posts, and many applications (Blogger, TypePad and WordPress) now make it easier than ever to quickly do this.
However, originally you had to get and copy HTML code to copy and paste into your blog post (HTML view) and then edit the proportions to properly fit inside YOUR posting area. This tutorial shows you how to do just that. And if you are using a TypePad blog, even with the new quick and easy Insert Video button, you still have to edit and adjust the video proportions!
