How to embed a video onto a blog from You Tube

So you might decide that you want to make your blog more interesting by adding in some videos that students can watch at home, or that you can play them in lessons.

To do this, go to You Tube and find the vide you would like. Look underneath the video for the "share" button. Click on it and click on the word "embed."

Highlight and copy the code that appears in that box. Then go to your blog, start a NEW POST and choose the "Edit HTML" tab. Paste in the code that you have just copied (Control + V). It might look like gobbledegook but that's ok for now!


Title your video something in the title box and then click on the orange publish button. When you view your post now, it should have the video embedded in it!
