How To Embed A YouTube Video Into Your Blog
By Susan Owen-Thursfield, March 20, 2009Following on from my music for motivation post, I thought I would embed a motivational music video into my blog.
I chose this inspirational piano piece because it struck a chord in me. I hope you enjoy it!
But for any non-techies out there who still feel that embedding video on their sites it a bit beyond them, have hope. It’s very easy to do! Here is my Idiot’s Guide to Embedding YouTube Videos on your Blog.
Firstly, download this plug-in.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/
Unzip it, upload it to your wp-content/plugins folder and activate it from your blog admin panel.
Now go to YouTube (this plug-in only works with YouTube) and find a video you want on your blog.
Simply add a “v” after the http part of the video URL and type the altered URL of the video into your blogpost at the place you want the video to be, just as if you were blogging normally.
So for example, if you want the video after the first paragraph, simply type httpv://www.thevideoURL.com where the second paragraph starts.
That’s it!
