How Do I Put Videos In My Blog Entries?

April 25, 2007 By 8 Comments

Question: How i put videos on my blog?

I’m glad to hear that you’re thinking about this, because adding videos to your blog entries is a great way to engage your readers, and entertain them too. :)

Pretty much all you have to do is copy the code for the video you want to embed in a blog entry.

Let’s use YouTube as an example.

Visit this page at YouTube (one of AsktheBlogger’s videos).

See the area to the right of the video? There are two ways to “grab code” to use to link or show videos in your blog. (Are highlighted in yellow box)

1. You can use the “URL” code to create a hyperlink to the video page at YouTube. Or…

2. You can use the “embed” code to actually embed the video in your blog entry.

Embedding your video is the better method in most cases because it doesn’t require your reader to have to leave your blog and be interrupted.

    Hi Jim I thought the video above on the how to put videos in your blog entries would have shown the how to? not just an ad for your site. Do you have to go to Layout and add the embed URL in the add a gadget section. The show and tell method really does cut the mustard in terms of overall understanding, sure hope that you make a video that does this on this page. All the Best Dave
