BUT I STILL LOVE TECHNOLOGY… POSTING YOU TUBE AND FLICKR CODE FOR YOUR BLOG…

Step by step process required to embed You Tube videos into your Blog.

To post you tube onto your blog all you need to do is copy the embed code from the video you want and then copy it into the post for your blog.

YouTube embed codes can be found next to any video on YouTube.com:

After you paste the code into your post and save the post, the video will be embedded for you. When you save your post, the embed code will also be automatically translated into a shorter, WordPress specific code that will look something like this:

You can move this code around your post to determine where the video should be shown.

You can embed multiple videos in a post.
