Embedding a video into blogger is actually quite simple. First, find your desired video on youtube. Mine is located at: www.youtube.com On your youtube page, find the embed box underneath the videos description. Caution: there is a url box above the embed box. Don't copy the url! That will simply make a link to your video and not embed it in your page.
Copy this text and then return to blogger. Create a new post and paste your embed text in the edit html tab on your post. The edit html tab is above the edit window for your post on the right hand side. You can click on compose to return to a 'rich editor' formate.
You should be all set! Here is my example below. This is from my first mountain biking race. Sadly you cannot find me in this video, as the author only tracked their friends in their video. I did make it down that hill though!

Colin, I was going to post something about embedding a U-Tube video into blogger however, you have done such a good job with this that I think I will find another subject.
ReplyDeleteColin, your post was really helpful. This was my first time to embed a youtube video in a blog, so your information was definitely helpful. I ran into some problems with the HTML tags. What I did was I wrote my blog on Word and then copied it on the blog tool, and it gave me bunch of html tag errors, so I copied in notepad and then in the blog tool and it worked fine.
ReplyDeleteColin, congradulations on your first race! As a fellow mountianbiker i can definately appreciate how much fun that downhill must have been. Thanks for the information post on imbedding video and doing it with a video that should be able to capture and hold the attention of most veiwers.
ReplyDeleteColin, thanks for the blog on embedding a video into our blogs. I am sure I will be having a go at it in one of my future blog posts. I sure would hate to bite it on that hill, with all those people watching the embarassment would be fairly high :D
ReplyDeleteI'd say that process is simple enough. Embedding on blogger is just like embedding anywhere else, thanks for the explanation Colin.
ReplyDeleteThat little drop in the video clip looks fun. Was that part of the trip you took? Did you hit it fast and get some air?
Colin,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the easy to understand instructions on embedding a video into a blog. As fellow mountain biker I appreciated the video selection and was lured into reading your blog when I saw it. Congratulations on completing your first race and making it down that hill unharmed. Looks like a fun challenge!
Thanks Colin,
ReplyDeleteLike the others have said, you did a great job of explaining how to post youtube videos in our blogs. I added one in my first blog and while it turned out to be very simple I probably would have stuck to uploading pictures if not for your post. By the way, that hill in your race looks pretty intense, good luck!
