How to Embed a YouTube Video on Your Blog

First, go to YouTube and find a video that you like. It doesn't have to be a video that you created.

Next, look for the box directly to the right of the video. Not only does this box let you subscribe to videos, it also gives you the code for embedding video. Go to the line marked Embed at the bottom of this box. Click inside the code box next to the word Embed. All of the code text should automatically be highlighted. If not, you'll need to select it. Copy this code. You can copy by right-clicking on your mouse and selecting copy from the drop-down menu.








Next, you need to paste this code into your blog. For this tutorial, I will use Blogger, which is a free blogging service from Google.

Log into your Blogger account and compose a new message for your blog. Select the edit HTMLpaste from the drop-down menu
tab, and paste the code you copied from YouTube. It is important to make sure you have the HTML tab selected first. You can paste the code by right-clicking and selecting







That's it. Press the post button and then preview your blog, to make sure everything works. When readers look at your blog, they'll see the embedded video, and they can click on the play button in the center to view the video. It is possible to modify the HTML code so that the video automatically plays as soon as it is loaded, instead of making the reader click. However, I don't recommend this. It is rude to readers who don't expect video, and it can really drag on users who have slow










Okay that's all for this entry... hope you enjoy this and good luck in trying this!!!!

Internet skills

Hello.... i have learned about the Internet skills in my previous class of USING AND DEVELOPING RESOURCES FOR THE ESL CLASSROOM. I think i should put this entry before my previous entry because this is the general idea of Internet skills...... I learned a lot of things during this lesson.. for example, we were taught on how to use the search engine which is "Google.com" and I think it is very crucial for me to learn this skill. Based on what I learned, we must know how to choose the correct search results so that we will find the item that we are searching for. My lecturer taught on how to use the search engine by giving example on searching the mp3 file of Micheal Jackson's last song before he passed away...

Our lecturer told us to use print screen button to copy the steps on how to use the search engine, how to choose the correct search results, how to download, how to locate the downloaded files, and how to play the mp3 files..... Besides that, I also learned on how to download flash cards, edited pictures, animation, audio and video clips. Then i found that it was very easy to download certain files from the Internet and the internet connection should be fast enough or the download progress will be interrupted and you will not be able to finish it...

I was using Youtube.com and i found this video on how to download a video... i hope that by watching this video you will be able to download videos from youtube.com
