Blog Post #2 - A Video

Time to figure out how to add that video! This week, choose a video from YouTube, or you can also choose a video from your cell phone or personal video camera.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO POST YOUR VIDEO.

Here are your instructions, taken from Blogger's Help Menu, as usual:

IF YOU ARE UPLOADING A VIDEO FROM YOUR COMPUTER (i.e. one that you took with your phone or camera), the process is similar to adding a picture to your post.

1. Click the clapperboard (the thing movie directors use to say Action!) icon on the post editor toolbar.
2. In the popup window, click the tab that says "Upload".
3. Then click "Choose a video to upload" to find the video on your computer.

HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE UPLOADING A VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE THE PROCESS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT! Please read the following instructions carefully.

1. Click the clapperboard (the thing movie directors use to say Action!) icon on the post editor toolbar.
2. In the popup window, click the tab that says "From Youtube".
3. Then search for the video you want.
4. Your video should pop up. If it does, click to select the video and then press the "select" button at the bottom of the pop-up window. You should be able to see your video on your unposted blog post, and if it does not work there is often times a problem with the YouTube video or it is copyrighted.
5. When you publish your post,  a lovely video should be posted like this:

   If this does not happen, try a different computer or a different browser (Internet Explorer vs. Firefox, for instance). Have fun!
