Next Wave of Blog Posts

Tonight in class I'll be assigning your next blog post assignment and the due dates for each person. However, there's one aspect of this that needs some demonstration, since one part of the assignment is to insert a video from YouTube in your post. Here's the explanation of how you do it from the help section of Blogger:

How do I post a video to my blog from YouTube?
If you've got your own videos on your computer that you want to share on your blog, Blogger now allows you to upload video directly! If you'd like to share a video from YouTube, you can do that, too.
Embedding a YouTube Video
To embed a video from YouTube, just copy the code from the "Embed" box on the video's YouTube page. You can find the "Embed" box in the "About This Video" box when you're watching the video. You can also get the code from the "Embed HTML" box on the "Edit Video" page if the video belongs to your YouTube account.
To embed a YouTube video within a blog post, first click "Edit HTML" from within the post editor. Next, paste the video's code into the body of your post. That's it!
