YouTube is hot and it has tons of local videos that could punch up your blog posts. So, just incase, you don’t yet know how to embed those cool videos into your blog, here’s the skinny:

Step 1: Find a video you like. I found this video on YouTube by performing a search for Cape Coral Hurricane.

Step 2: See where it says “embed” with some code beside it, to the right of the video? Copy that code.

Step 3: Write a new blog post, switch to SOURCE mode and paste the code into your blog. 

Step 4: Save your post. 

TROUBLE SHOOTING: Some blogs don’t like the “object” tag. If you have one of those blogs (you’ll know because when you save a post with one, the blog platform will complain about it), switch back to SOURCE mode and remove the object and param code (both the opening and closing tags – basically just leave the embed code). Also, sometimes you’ll need to scale your movie down to fit in your blog, while in SOURCE mode, you can use the “height” and “width” tags to manipulate the size of your video.

Step 5: Enjoy your hard work and make sure your video looks smokin’ in your blog.
